Reception
Welcome to Reception Class
Adults that will help and support you in Reception Class this year
Mrs Amos-Simpson, Mrs Horne, Mrs Whitehead, Mrs Salt and Miss Wassman
Spring Term 1 2025
This term activities and learning will be inspired by our learning theme 'Once Upon a Time' . We will be using lots of traditional tales and fairy tales to inspire our learning and activities. We will be making Gingerbread and cakes for Grandma.
We will be looking for seasonal changes as it changes from winter to spring and we will continue to use our wonderful outside spaces, and create recipes in our Mud kitchen and explore and utilise our Forest Site as much as we can.
In Literacy, through our daily phonics and reading sessions using the Read Write Inc phonics scheme, we will continue to work on recognising and writing Set 1 letter sounds and blending these speedily to read words and sentences. We are also working on developing our fine motor and dexterity to develop our handwriting skills, using Dough Disco time to help us with this. Your child will have the opportunity to choose a library book and will be given reading books on a Monday and have access at home to the online book your child is working on in their Read Write Storybooks phonics lessons at school.
We will also begin our Stories4School project, planning and creating our stories and illustrations for our whole school book that will be published and available to buy during our Book Launch event in the summer term. More information to follow.
We will use Numicon and other practical resources to support and enhance maths learning and continue to be involved in the Mastering Numbers Project where Number Blocks is used. Through practical activities and games there will be daily opportunities for developing a deeper understanding of number. Throughout the year we will be working on recognising and writing and having a really good understanding of numbers 1-20. Through practical activities in the classroom and using our outside spaces, children will be encouraged to develop problem solving skills, use subatising, develop awareness and understanding of different number patterns and hopefully develop confidence and enjoyment when using maths and number. We will also work on recognising the properties of shape around us as well have an understanding of space and measure too.
There will of course be lots of opportunities to be creative, develop imagination, explore and investigate and be physical through daily continuous play provision.
Days that your child will be going to Forest School will usually be on a Friday and PE sessions will usually be on a Tuesday afternoon. This term we will be developing our throwing and catching skills. Please ensure that your child wears PE into school on Tuesday.
We will keep you updated on our Class Group Webpage on our school Facebook

The school page is a super way to keep up with Knightlow News and our own class group page is a great way to show WOW moments of learning that your child has done at home as well as a super way for us to keep you updated too.
Please don't hesitate to contact me if you have any questions or concerns or would like to offer your help or support in any way
Thank you
