Welcome to EYFS
​

Autumn Page

Summer Page
Miss Belcher and Miss Bareham would like to welcome you all to the 
Reception Class page. 


In Reception the children have lots and lots of fun.....every day. Daily they are busy exploring the different areas in our classroom both inside and outside. This has provided great opportunities for the children to explore, discover and learn. Each day is different for the children as they explore various activities in both the indoor and outdoor learning environments. We provide many exciting opportunities and carefully monitor the progress of each individual child. Reception class have settled into school life brilliantly and we are looking forward to spending the rest of the year with them!

​​During the Reception year children have extended opportunities to learn through play. Learning takes place both inside and outside and the classroom. Through a mixture of carefully planned adult activities and more spontaneous child led activities the children develop skills and understanding in the following 7 areas of learning:
The Prime Areas of Learning are:

Personal, social and emotional development (PSED)
Children are encouraged to establish positive relationships with adults and other children. They learn to work co-operatively as part of a group, to understand what is right and wrong and why and to consider the consequences of their actions. Adults working in early years aim to encourage all children, to make sure that each child is given an equal chance to join in with the range of activities on offer and that all children feel equally valued as part of the whole group.

Communication and Language (CL)
Children have had the opportunities to develop their speaking and listening, reading and writing skills by sharing and enjoying many stories, rhymes and non-fiction books. We have also focused on identifying sound using the ‘Letters and Sounds’ programme.

Physical development (PD)
Children use a range of balancing and climbing apparatus to develop their co-ordination and awareness of space. They use a variety of sports equipment in class and team games. We also focus on using smaller tools, construction and malleable materials to practise skills.



The Specific Areas of Learning are:

Mathematics (M)
Children learn about pattern, shape, and measures. They order, sequence and sort with objects and numbers through practical activities. They are encouraged to use mental strategies and skills as well as number rhymes, songs and games.

Literacy (L)
This area includes both Reading and Writing.  We use the phonics programme Letters and Sounds.  The children are taught both reading and writing skills, linking sounds and letters. Children are given a wide access to a range of genre of texts including stories, poems to ignite their interest.

Understanding the World (UW)
This area of learning includes science, history, geography, design technology, information technology and religious education within topics. We focus on providing the children with a range of activities and different equipment to investigate and use.

Expressive arts and design (EAD)
Children explore colour, shape, texture, form and space through a range of activities in art, music, dance, stories and imaginative play. We provide them with opportunities to express and communicate their ideas and feelings.

Children’s progress is carefully monitored through the Reception year and learning is tailored to their needs and interests. Teachers will share children’s next steps with you at regular intervals and you can see them displayed in their classrooms. Parents’ contributions to children’s learning are strongly encouraged and we welcome your feedback on learning that is taking place outside school.
