Reception

Autumn Global Outcome

This term, our children are embarking on an exciting journey to explore Identity & Diversity! We develop a strong sense of self-awareness and personal uniqueness. We learn to have respect for others, inspiring a positive attitude toward differences and diversity. For our Global outcome we will be creating a community cookbook and sharting our recepioes with our families and community.

Communication and Language

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.

Personal, Social and Emotional Development

We will be encouraging all children to keep an open mind by trying new foods and practicing how to share their likes and dislikes. During playtime, we will be focusing on important social skills like turn-taking, sharing with friends, listening to each other's ideas, and working together to include everyone in the fun.

Physical Development

We will be developing our fine motor control to build a strong foundation for writing. This involves using tools like scissors, tweezers, and pencils to strengthen our hands and practice small, precise movements. Separately, we will be learning about healthy diets and the important role food plays in keeping us healthy and strong.

Literacy

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.

Maths

In Reception, we will be developing children's mathematical understanding, with a focus on numbers, counting, comparing quantities, recognising patterns and exploring shape and measures. Through practical, hands-on activities, children will develop their mathematical vocabulary, confidence and problem-solving skills.

Expressive arts and design

We will be exploring how food is used to make art. Focusing on works by the artist Giuseppe Arcimboldo, and using his food themed portraits to create our own.

Understanding the world

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.

Handwriting

We are excited to announce that we will be using Letter-join as our new whole-school handwriting scheme. This follows a successful trial praised by both teachers and students for its effectiveness and engagement. Children can log in to the Letter-join website at home on iPads, tablets and computers

SuperKind at Foxfield

At Foxfield Primary school, leadership starts with making a difference. Through SuperKind, pupils learn that leadership is about taking positive, meaningful action for others and the wider world. Through your child's unique QR code, you can access the platform and log any SuperKind actions that your child does. Whether it’s helping a neighbour, organising a recycling project, fundraising, or volunteering, every positive step counts.

By logging their achievements, you help celebrate their dedication, encourage a lifelong habit of kindness and social responsibility, and show them that no action is too small to create real change.
