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 start our Phonics with recapping Phase 1, which helps children to hear sounds in words. We will then move onto Phase 2. This phase introduces the children to new sounds. The first set are ‘s,a,t,p,i,n’. We will be using these sounds to make simple words to read and write.

Literacy
We will begin our Literacy journey by reading Traditional Tales. We will begin with ‘The Gingerbread Man’ before moving onto ‘The Three Little Pigs’.
We will use these stories to help develop our early writing skills.
Below is a link to a YouTube story of The Gingerbread Man.
Maths
To begin our Maths learning, we will be matching, sorting and comparing amounts, comparing size, mass and capacity, and will be making simple patterns.
We will also begin learning to recognise our numbers, beginning with numbers 1-5.
