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.

Reading with your child
Sharing a book with your child is vital for your child’s development in literacy, communication, language, listening, understanding, social development and emotional wellbeing.
Reading books will be changed weekly. It is essential that you spend 5/10 minutes each night sharing your child's book with them, helping them to learn their tricky words and phonics sounds. Please make a comment in their diaries so we can keep up to date with the activities you have been doing, thank you. Please bring reading every day we will read with the children in school and then send their reading books back home.
PE and Games
PE will continue to take place on Thursday afternoons. Please make sure your child comes to school in their PE kit every Thursday. No jewellery and hair tied back. Children will take part in a variety of indoor and outdoor activities that continue to focus on fine and gross motor skills.
Ways to help at home
- Encourage your child to be independent: getting dressed, feeding, and toileting. This will have a big impact on their confidence and help with their fine motor, which will support their writing.
- Share and talk about books together.
- Ask questions about your child’s day at school
- Enjoy a bedtime story with your child to encourage love for books.
- Give your child lots of opportunity to draw and write.
- Practise counting forward and counting out objects. Practise recognising numbers to 5 and then 10.
- Support your child to recognise and write their name. (Capital letter for the first letter of the name only)
Don’t forget we are always here to help. We have an open door policy.
