Welcome to the Spring Term in Reception
Our theme this term is Creatures Great and Small
This term our theme is Creatures Great and Small. We will be learning the names of lots of different animals - those that can be kept as pets, those that live on the farm, those that live in the jungle and those that are not living anymore.
The children are getting so good at working with their talk partners to think of ideas for challenges during Pupil Voice planning time and we will be encouraging them to come up with ideas of their own this term! Some of the books that we might read are Monkey Puzzle, Dear Zoo, Harry and the Bucketful of Dinosaurs, Handa's Hen and the Gruffalo.
You can find out more about our possible range of activities in the 'Key Information' section under Topic Webs.

Welcome to the Autumn Term in Reception
Our theme this term is Remember, Remember!
This term our theme is Remember, Remember. We will be listening to lots of stories and learning lots about Night and Day. We are going to start learning about the differences between night and day. We will be learning about Morning and Night routines as well as Old and New routines. We will look at homes now and in the past. This term we will be investigating shadows and how shadows are formed. We are so excited to be learning new things! We will be planning some of our ‘Polly Time’ activities during our Pupil Voice sessions to ensure we have a say in what we want to learn!
We are trying so hard to learn how to write our names and how to form letters correctly in class so that we can be more independent with our work. It is hard work but we have a good growth mind set and have an ‘I can’ attitude. Please help your children to practise writing at home.
Read, Write, Inc.
Currently the children are learning the RWI phonic sounds with Miss Hammett in class. We teach our children to read and write using the ‘Read, Write, Inc. phonic scheme. We have been learning a sound a day! In a couple of weeks we might go to a different class for this. Please make sure your children are in school on time so that they do not miss out!

This term our theme is Creatures Great and Small. We will be listening to lots of stories and learning the names of animals that we see in the pictures.

We will be learning about mini – beasts and going to look for them outside. When our butterfly dome arrives we will find out all about a life cycle.
