Welcome to our Reception Class Page!
Here you can find out what we are going to be learning this half-term and read any important reminders.
Phonics
We will continue to strengthen our Phase 2 Phonics. Some children will move onto Phase 3 Phonics. This includes 27 new sounds (many of them being digraphs) and 12 new tricky words.
Our new tricky words are he, she, we, me, be, you, all, are, her, was, they, my.

Literacy
This half-term, we will read three different books. We will begin with another home learning unit called ‘What Hatches out of an Egg?’
We will then move onto our main topic for this half-term, ‘The Ocean’. Through this we will read ‘The Storm Whale’ and also a non-fiction book, ‘Fantastic Fish’.
Maths
In Maths, we will be ordering and sequencing numbers, estimating and learning about sharing and halving.
We will also look at time and money in our Shape, Space and Measure work.
