Daily Reading
In Reception the expectation is that you are reading for 3 days or more a week for at least 10 minutes.
Little Wandle books will be read 3 times in school before they are sent home. Our reading days are Wednesday, Thursday ,and Friday. All books will be swapped on Friday so the children have a chance to read with you.In addition to this, children will be able to choose an age appropriate text for them to take home weekly. Please ask if you're unsure.
Your reading habits are monitored weekly. Children in Reception have the opportunity to achieve reading awards in relation to how many times they have read.
25 Reads = Bronze
50 Reads = Silver
75 Reads = Gold
100 Reads = Platinum
Note: Only one read per day is counted toward their reward.

Our WorldCurriculum Overview
Our topic this term is 'Terrific Tales'
Terrific TalesOur Week
What we are up to
This term we are looking at 'Terrific Tales'. We will be exploring lots of different fairy-tales and where they come from. We will also have a go at re-enacting them ourselves. The children will continue to develop their Phase 2 phonics knowledge and begin to write CVC words independently. They will also have a chance to explore early numbers further, with a focus on the numbers 4 and 5, and learn all about 2D shapes. Finally, Sapling and Willow Class will also be rehearsing their Christmas play, "Ralph the Reindeer", ready to wow their grown ups in the festive period.
