Reception 2019 - 2020

Mrs Armitage

Mrs Moxley

Welcome to Reception! Mrs Armitage and Mrs Moxley are the class teachers and Mrs Lawford is our wonderful teaching assistant.

This is a very exciting year and we cannot wait to get started! We aim to provide a challenging and fun learning environment, both indoors and outdoors, for children to ignite self-curiosity and nurture a life-long love of learning!

Our whole school autumn topic is 'Atlas of Adventures' and reception will be travelling all the way to the wild savannahs of Africa. See our topic web for more information about the adventures we will be having and the books we will be reading! Please see our topic-based book list you could read!

Reading

Reading is at the heart of reception. Children learn to read in a story-rich environment. We share books every day and learn about the world through a range of fiction and non-fiction books. Please see our list of topic based books you can read with your child. In the autumn term, reception will be taught set 1 sounds of the Read Write Inc programme. Read Write Inc (RWI) is a phonics programme which helps all children learn to read fluently and at speed so they can focus on developing their skills in comprehension, vocabulary and spelling. Phonic sessions will be taught at 10.30-11.00 daily.

Maths

Our maths focus for this half term is numbers 1-5. How many different ways can you find the numbers? It could be a house number or a group of flowers!
