Rec P 2025 - 2026

Welcome to Reception!

Summer 1:

Our last term in Reception! We cannot believe how fast this year is going!

This half term our topic is ‘In the Garden’, we will be learning all about mini-beasts and how plants grow, with our books being ‘SuperWorm’ ‘Things with Wings’ and ‘Jack and the Beanstalk’. Our role play area has been turned into Gordan Riggs!

In Maths, we will be exploring teen numbers, helping the children understand that they are made up of ten and some more, using practical resources to support counting and recognising numbers to 20. We will also be developing our understanding of subtraction through simple number stories and hands-on activities, encouraging the children to take away and find how many are left. In addition, we will be learning positional language, using words such as “next to,” “behind,” and “in front of” through practical activities and everyday routines.

In RE we will be learning all about ‘Special Places’, the children will be given the opportunity to discuss their special places and the memories they have made there, as well as learning about the special places Jesus visited, such as the temple.

Our PE lessons are on Mondays and Fridays, please encourage your child to practise dressing themselves at home, this will really help them to become more independently and be able to dress themselves confidently for PE. Please also ensure your child has a full PE kit in school and each item is named.

Please continue to read at home with your children and write a comment in their reading record, this really helps to develop their reading ability.

 Any questions - please do ask on drop off/pick up or contact the office.

Thank you for your support,

Mrs Perry and Mrs Parry
