‘Learning For Life’
Class 8
The emphasis in Reception is to follow the Early Years Foundation Stage Curriculum, which focuses on the development of the individual child and provides high quality learning opportunities for the children to learn through play. The children are able to explore, take risks, have fun, form friendships, think critically and form their own ideas.
Autumn 2
This half-term, our topic is ‘Traditional Tales’. We will be reading different well-known stories. We will also be learning about the Christmas Story in preparation for our Nativity performance.
