What are we learning?
The children will be learning to listen to others and respond by making relevant comments. They will ask and answer questions and use new vocabulary when speaking in extended sentences. In literacy, the children will be writing instructions, fact files, descriptions and retelling familiar stories. They will be writing sentences which are phonetically plausible, using capital letters and full stops.
In Maths, the children will be building numbers 9 and 10. They will compare numbers to 10 as well as learning their number bonds to 10. The children will also explore 3D shapes, pattern and time.
The children will be developing and refining their batting and aiming skills. They will learn to jump off an object and land safely. The children will also learn to use a range of small tools with greater proficiency.
The children will identify things they find challenging. They will explore the importance of resilience; they will set personal goals and they will think about their hopes and dreams for the future.
The children will talk about past and present events in their lives. They will ask ‘why’ and ‘how’ questions about the natural world. The children will learn about the importance of showing care for living things and the natural environment. They will use technological devices to draw pictures and create content.
The children will be drawing representations of people & objects. They will learn to design for a purpose. They will explore ways to adapt well known narratives, stories and songs, and they will learn to copy and continue a simple beat using instruments.
How can I help at home?
One of the key ways every parent can help is to ensure that your child is at school every day and on time. Other than this, the main way you can help is by ensuring that your child reads every day, for at least 10 minutes with you. This is the most effective way of ensuring that your child progresses across the EYFS curriculum. If your child is not yet able to read, please read to them.
Additional Information
In Reception, we are keen explorers and spend lots of time outdoors. We will go out in all weathers! As the weather gets colder and wetter, please ensure your child is in school with a waterproof coat. We ask all children to keep a pair of wellington boots at school to use throughout the year. Please ensure all of your child’s belongings have their name in/on them.
If you have any questions, please talk to Miss Riani or Miss Abdishakur.â¯â¯
Thank you,â¯â¯
