Reception
Our Learning this Term:
During this half term we will be supporting the children to settle into their new classes and explore the topic
‘All About Me’. We will also share the story, ‘The Invisible String’ written by Patrice Karst, as a stimulus to talk about ourselves and our families.
For Personal Social and Emotional Development we will explore different emotions and discuss how we can use a range of strategies to manage them appropriately. We will introduce Zones of Regulation, encouraging ways for the children to express their feelings.
In Communication and Language we will practise our listening skills through games, repeating musical sequences and following instructions. We will also identify similarities and differences between ourselves and others.
For Physical Development we will talk about how to use the toilet appropriately and how we keep good hygiene. We will practise using a fork independently to feed ourselves at lunchtime and talk about healthy eating at snack time.
If you have any questions about the content of the Reception curriculum please contact the Reception Team Leader, Miss Irving who will be more than happy to answer any questions you may have.
