Week Commencing: 2nd September 2024
Our theme is: Settling In
What a fantastic first week to reception we had last week. Well done to all the children. We expect them to be very tired after their first few days at school!
Our learning this week includes:
Maths - We will focus on subitising (identifying the quantity without counting - seeing straight away with ‘fast eyes’). We will focus on subitising 1, 2 and 3.
Literacy - As we continue to focus on settling the children into school we will begin with what is familiar to them and this week we focus on familiar and favourite rhymes and stories. We will focus on the skill of listening. We will discuss what we enjoy and remember in stories and rhymes. We will practise showing respectful listening to our friends. Can we hear and remember what they say? We will retell a well known story using a story map.
Other - We will have an opportunity to share our favourite nursery rhymes, poems and songs and recite and sing together. (Expressive arts and Design, Communication and Language)
We will discuss different books together, exploring fiction and non fiction books. We will visit our school library and talk about what a library is. (Understanding of the World, Communication and Language).
Home learning book
You will be given this at the end of the week. We give a summary of what we cover within our phonics learning for the week so your child can show you what they know and practise at home.

RE learning
In Religious Education, we will be learning about different celebrations and festivals which link to the heritage of some of the children.
In our EYFS unit we plan according to the children's interests. We spend time talking to the children, asking them what they already know and what they would like to find out.
Our weekly themes are led by the children. Each week we share ideas and then pick a theme for the coming week
