Homework / Reading
Story and Information Books - Children are encouraged to choose a story book and information book from our book box each morning to be read to by adults or siblings at home each day. Rich language stories are essential to help develop vocabulary and literacy awareness and skills.
Reading Scheme Books - In addition, from October onwards, children will be taking home reading scheme books which link in with and support and practise the phonics skills we are learning through the Little Wandle phonics and reading programme.
Maths Packs - Early in the Spring Term, children will be a given a Maths pack of games to play at home with adults and siblings to support numeracy development. Parents will be invited to a Maths workshop to support them in using the Maths pack.
General - Weekly Reception newsletters give parents of an overview of our current learning with suggestions on how to consolidate this learning at home with simple activities.
Expectations
These are outlined in weekly Reception Newsletters which are emailed to parents.
In Reception, we plan our learning and development according to the Early Years Framework 2021. Here are the Early Learning Goals we are working towards for the end of Reception (July 2024):
Queries
If you would like to talk to the Reception Class Teacher, please do so at drop off or collection at the end of the day, if it is a very brief query/matter. If you need a longer discussion, please make an appointment to talk to me at 3:25 pm on Mondays, Wednesdays, Thursdays or Fridays. On Tuesdays, teachers have a professional development meeting to attend once children have left for the day.
