What does our curriculum look like?

In Reception we select topics to suit the children’s interests. Through finding out what the children are interested in we can tailor the curriculum accordingly. We follow the EYFS

Statutory Curriculum which you can see below:

Here is an overview of what is expected within the strands, it is a useful tool for understanding the profile:

What will we learn in term 1?

Our topic is 'Friends'. We will all get to know each other and make new friends. We will share lots of friendship themed texts. We will learn new routines together and agree some rules for our learning and playing environments.  We will try hard to recognise our own names and our friends names, have a go at mark making and writing our own names. We will begin our Letters and Sounds phonic journey, explored numerals 1-5 and what each numeral represents whilst engaging in some problem solving activities. We will observe some seasonal changes and explore our outdoor environment.

Are there any trips/events planned?
