Welcome to Reception
Autumn 1-
A huge welcome to Reception class and St Anthony's. All of our children have settled in beautifully and are off to a great start with their learning. I am extremely proud of each and every one of them.
Children have begun learning phonics through the Little Wandle Phonics programme. Children will learn Phase 2 during the Autumn term and will begin guided reading sessions promptly.
Throughout this half term we will have a big focus on developing fine motor skills in preparation for writing. Alongside fine motor activities such as tweezing, pinching, threading etc, the children will take part in dough disco and scarf dances daily.
Throughout our maths sessions we will focus on 'getting to know me' and the numbers 1,2 and 3 following the White Rose Maths curriculum.
During the autumn term as part of DfE expectations all children will undertake the reception baseline. We will also undertake speech and language assessments for children and report any findings with you to allow us to work collaboratively to provide the best support for your child.
PE will take place on Tuesdays - please ensure full PE kits are in school.
Children will begin to bring home reading books this half term, they will change books weekly, please ensure books are kept in book bags at all times.
If you have any concerns or queries regarding your child please do not hesitate to speak to us.
Thank you as always for your continued support.
Mrs Partridge :)
