Do come and see either Mrs Prouse or Miss Bell if you have any questions about your child’s learning. It is an exciting time when reception children begin to learn the skills of reading and writing. We feel privileged to be part of that early process and to witness those ‘light bulb’ moments when a child realises that the words on a page actually mean something, or that they can communicate through writing. However, it is very important for children to enjoy all aspects of school life and be active and hands on.
Helping your child at Home
We know that parents and carers are keen to support learning in school. Here are some links to lessons that you can explore with your child. They all compliment learning that will be done in Reception Class this term:
English
Listen & Join in with the Story of Mouse Deer
Maths
Early Mathematical Experiences
Understanding the world
Music

The Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) Curriculum: Development Matters
The British Association for Early Childhood Education have published Development Matters. This details the Early Learning Goals which the Government feels an average child should be working at by the end of Reception class. The descriptors are displayed on the wall, outside of our classroom. This details the whole curriculum that children are expected to cover from nursery right through to year one (birth – 40-60+months).
