Life in Reception
In Reception, children enjoy going on lots of adventures through the 7 areas of learning. Their day is spent learning, discovering and exploring both indoors and outdoors through adult directed and independent learning adventures.
We update the children’s daily adventures on Tapestry, please ensure you check in daily to see what adventure your child has been on.
We also use Class Dojo for any important announcements or events to keep our parents updated.
Early Reading: Monster Phonics
In Reception, phonics is delivered daily through our chosen phonic scheme, Monster Phonics.
In Autumn term, Reception children will learn phase 2 letter sounds. They will begin to write the correct graphemes to represent letters and will practise reading CVC words. Phase 1 skills learnt within Nursery are embedded in every phonics lesson and throughout day-to-day activities within Reception.
Please see the parent guide for more information about how to support your child with phonics at home.
Home Reading
Your child will have the opportunity to visit our school library once a week. Whilst in the library the children will listen to a story and explore different genres and books. The children really enjoy the calm, inviting environment.
Each week the children can select a book from our class library to bring home to read and enjoy with their family. This book is for reading for pleasure. You should read this story aloud to your child. A good time to do this would be each night before bed.
