Information about Reception
In reception children learn through the Foundation stage framework consisting of 7 areas of learning:
- Personal, Social and Emotional development
- Physical development
- Communication and language
- Literacy
- Mathematics
- Understanding the world
- Expressive Arts and Design
Each day the children explore learning through the environment and a range of activities both child initiated and adult directed. We incorporate activities which strengthen the upper body to help with writing. Such as physical literacy, dance, dough disco and fine motor.
The children take part in daily mathematics, literacy and phonics sessions to develop their understanding of number, shape, space and measure, reading, writing, letters and sounds.
The children access both indoor and outdoor provision daily which allows them to choose different activities which aim to further enhance and develop their skills.
Through continuous provision, group time and focused activities, we aim to support the children in their learning and development. Continuous observations are made of the children to establish their level of development and track their progress. Observations, photographs and children's work is evidence of each child's learning and development. This information is kept in their learning journeys.
Our aim is to support the children by enhancing and scaffolding their learning and play, watching them as they learn new skills and flourish.

Reception Curriculum News
Summer 1
Sunshine and Sunflowers
2024
This term we will be learning about the life cycles of hens, frogs, butterflies and how we change as humans. It is a very exciting term, as we will have a delivery of eggs that we will be observing.
There will be opportunity for children to plant sunflowers or beans, learning about how to care for them, appreciate them and examine them to understand the different parts.
We will also focus on how to stay healthy and look after our bodies, thinking about nutrition, exercise, mental-wellbeing, sleep, sun protection and hygiene.
