Reception

We will be learning to listen carefully and share our knowledge, experiences and ideas with others. We will talk about what foods we like and dislike and practice asking questions about other people’s preferences. We will strengthen our listening and attention skills by listening to adult instructions, so that we can follow different recipes.

This term we will be listening to and retelling our core text and favourite five stories. We will be learning new vocabulary which we will be encouraged to use in our daily routines at school.

We will be exploring the initial sounds of words and learning how to write our names independently.

During our daily Little Wandle phonic sessions we will be learning the following phonemes:

v,w,y,x,z,qu,ch,sh,th,ng,nk,

We will also be reading the following tricky words: put, pull, full, and, we, she, he, push, go, no, to

Each week, your child will bring home a reading book linked to our phonic sessions and a story book to share with you to help develop our love of reading.

We will be learning about measurement, and how to weigh and measure food items for recipes. We will also be learning to sequence events in order from start to finish, so that we can share new recipes with one another.  In numbers, we will focus on finding numbers that are one more and one less to five before we move on to addition and subtraction. 

This month, we will be exploring how food is used to make art! We will focus on works by the artist Giuseppe Arcimboldo, studying his unique food-themed portraits and then using his techniques as inspiration to create our own.
