Thank you for visiting our class page!
Welcome to Reception
On this webpage we aim to provide information that will help you support your child throughout their Reception year. We will update with regular newsletters and information about our ongoing topics. We would recommend that you check Tapestry and our class dojo app regularly to keep you fully informed with all the latest news and information.
We really hope you continue to visit our page and follow the exciting journey our reception children take over the course of the year. Enjoy!
The Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) is the ‘curriculum’ of the Reception year. The EYFS framework sets out key learning goals for your child’s early development which, if achieved, provide the 'foundations' for all later learning and successes, focusing on developing every child's skills through, playing and exploring, active learning, creating and thinking critically through 7 areas of learning and development:
The 3 Prime Areas of the EYFS are:
- Communication and language
- Physical development
- Personal, social and emotional development.
The 4 Specific Areas of the EYFS are:
- Literacy
- Mathematics
- Understanding the world
- Expressive arts and design
We help our Reception children to work towards the Early Learning Goals which are the Knowledge, Skills and Understanding children should have at the end of their first academic year at school. Our work involves ongoing assessment and reporting to parents and/or carers as well as considering our children’s Safeguarding and Welfare Requirements.
Lifelong Learners Workshop for Parents
Another new member of Daisy Class!
Meet our new member! This is Communicating Catherine. Catherine is here to support our learning about sharing, being friendly, attentively listening and turn-taking. The children have welcomed both of our new friends with open arms and have truly taken on board each and every message that they bring.
A new member of Daisy Class!
I’d like to introduce a new member of Daisy Class. This is independent Isla. Isla will live in school but she may also visit your homes at some point too! Isla is here to help our children to become independent learners. You will see on the poster that Isla uses specific phrases to help support our children’s understanding. We will be using these phrases in school and it would be great if you could use them at home too. The children have been amazing in welcoming Isla to our class and have already started to refer to Isla and her phrases when trying something new or when they struggle with completing a task for the first time.
On the leaflet that was sent home this evening, you will see that it references a puppet poster for the various puppets that will join our class over the course of the year. Once all puppets have been introduced, I will send these posters home with the children to display.
I will also be sending out a date regarding a parent workshop to discuss our lifelong learners project and how we can work together to support your children in these fabulous early years.
