In Spring Term we will enter The Enchanted Forest - a magical place full of fun and wonder! We encourage the children to explore their imaginations through looking at well-known texts and traditional tales. We explore and use these in role-play, Literacy, and creative art activities. We will promote communication and language through the retelling of stories, learning to recite key parts and using key vocabulary related to size and measure. We will learn about woodland animals, what they need to survive and investigate the past and present along with our map reading skills when we create and read maps of The Enchanted Forest.  

Welcome to the exciting world of Reception! The Autumn term is extremely important in getting to know the children. Therefore, our first topic is called Magical Marvellous Me where they will share their beautiful treasure boxes with the rest of the class. During this topic we will begin to build friendships and understand what a good friend is. We will discuss our feelings; get to know the classroom routines and expectations and learn how to stay healthy. Once settled, the children will start to learn their phonic sounds and will develop their counting skills. Leading up to Christmas, the children will have an opportunity to star in their own Nativity play!
