Early Years Foundation Stage Curriculum

This half term in Reception our theme is ‘The Natural World’.

Each week we read a book and have a focus for the week. This week we have started by reading ‘Dear Earth’ and some nonfiction books about the seven continents and animal habitats.

In Phonics we are moving onto our next set of sounds in Phase 3. The children are learning digraphs – 2 letters making one sound, and trigraphs – three letters making one sound. In our lessons we read and write some words using these sounds we have learnt.

We have reading practise groups each day where we talk about books and practise sound talking and blending to read CVC and VC words.

In Maths we have just finished our number unit: Alive in 5! Now we are exploring Mass and Capacity. We will also be looking at the composition of numbers and representing the numbers 6, 7 and 8 this half term.

In RE, we have been learning about different celebrations. We will learn about how other people and communities celebrate. We will also visit church and talk about how the parish family celebrate together.
