Welcome to St. Anne’s Class

Teacher: Miss Hargrove

Teaching Assistant: Mrs Moore

Early Years Foundation Stage Curriculum

This half term in Reception our theme is ‘Myself’.

The children have settled in well and getting used to class routines. We sit on the carpet for whole class sessions – they are doing very well!

In our Phonics lessons we are learning the Phase 2 GPCs. We have been learning about alliteration, rhymes and syllables in our rhyme time sessions. We have been busy mark making and practising letter formations. We are also working on recognising and writing our own names.

As part of our theme, this term we are talking about our new friends and how each of us is unique. We have read the book ‘Our Class is a Family’ and are reading books about school and friendship.  We painted pictures of ourselves whilst talking about what makes us special.

We will also be talking about our families. Thank you for sending in a family photo for the children to share.

Later this term we will learn more about our local area. We will explore our Town, the Park, British Wildlife, Toys of the Past and some People who help us.

In Maths we will begin with lots of matching and sorting activities as well as looking at patterns.

Our first Religious Education topic is called Creation and Covenant. We are learning that God made me. He made my family and that I am a part of God’s family. This term we will learn about Baptism and read the Creation Story from the Bible. We will be exploring ways we can care for all of God’s creations. In our class worship we are learning to make the sign of the cross and to say some simple prayers.
