Welcome to the Reception web page. If you have any concerns or queries, do not hesitate to get in touch with the school.
On this page you can find:
- Links to phonics support, such as phase sheets and harder to read and spell sheets, which we hope will guide you in supporting your child's phonics learning;
- Handwriting rhymes to allow you to support your child's letter formation when practicing sentence writing at home;
- Information about our curriculum and learning, including an overview of our current topic.

This term our learning topic is Marvellous Me and children will have the opportunity to develop social skills such as making friendships, expressing their emotions and understanding and following rules. Children will explore important events - Autumn, Halloween, Bonfire Night,Remembrance Day, Diwali, St Andrew’s Day and Christmas. Children will think about how toys have changed from the past to the present and in art children will explore autumnal colours and learn about portraits. In PE children will learn about basic principles of a PE lesson such as safely using space, sharing equipment and will take part in activities which will develop fundamental movement skills such as running, jumping and skipping through simple games.
Home Reading- All children in Reception have a clear communication folder which holds their reading diary and weekly books. Children receive 2 books weekly; an independent book marked with an 'I', these are books children should be confident to read without support and a supported book marked with an 'S', these are books you may need to help your child with. Please return the communication folder to school each Monday morning with the reading diary and 2 books, these will be returned to you on Tuesday afternoon. We strongly encourage children to read at least 3 times weekly at home.
PE - Reception have PE on a Tuesday. Please send your child to school in their kit on these days - all PE lessons will be outdoors (weather permitting) so you may wish to consider your child having a tracksuit for the day. Please make sure all earrings are removed or covered with tape before school on these days.
