Literacy
In Reception, Literacy is a combination of Communication and Language and Phonics. We will begin the topic by exploring and sharing simple stories from other cultures, celebrating Diwali and retelling traditional tales.
Author Study
We will be using the very engaging books written and illustrated by Anthony Browne.
Phonics
We are continuing our journey using the Little Wandle Phonic Scheme.
You can help your child at home by-
Maths
In Mathematics we use White Rose Maths as our mastery approach scheme. We will be looking at the composition of the numbers 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 ; find, subitise and represent 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5; and one more and one less for the numbers 1 to 5. We will be looking at circles and triangles and shapes with 4 sides.
You can help your child at home by-
PSE
PSE is embedded in all learning areas but our focus using PSHE Matters will be Exploring Emotions and Bullying Matters.
Physical Development
Fine Motor– We will be concentrating on developing and strengthening the fine motor skills.
You can help your child at home by-
Gross Motor– In PE the Busy Bees will be focusing on Gymnastics including core skills, balance, agility & co-ordination. Forest School is an excellent time for children to explore and use their gross motor skills through climbing and playing games.
Understanding the World
As always, we will be spending a lot of time outside, please ensure your child has a pair of wellies in school each day. Children will be exploring the features and changes in autumn. We will be having an RE Week at the end of term. This will provide the children with an immersive experience to be able to answer the question ‘Which people are special and why?”
Expressive Arts and Design
This area of learning includes singing, dancing, pretend play, being imaginative, creating 2D and 3D art, collaborating and building on previous skills. It is interwoven into other learning areas as well as Continuous Provision. This term the Bumblebees will be creating ‘Marvellous Marks in art and focussing on ‘My Stories’ in music.
Useful Reminders!
Please do not hesitate to contact staff at school if you have any questions regarding your child’s learning. Thank you for your continued support!
