Please look through the pack and if their is anything you are unsure of please email on the adress above.
We will aim to upload the documents in todays pack for those unable to get them.

Home learning pack

Due to school closure we have put together a list of links to give you ideas of work the children can do at home. 
Our ethos in early years is learning through play,building learning into our everyday and giving learning a purpose.

We do not expect children to learn through formal teaching at school so we do not expect this at home

EARLY LEARNING GOALS

 

In Reception, children work towards the Early Learning Goals (ELG). Children should achieve these goals by the end of Reception so that they are ready for the KS1 curriculum to begin in Year One.
The first link below is for Development Matters, this is the curriculum for Early Years. The document sets out objectives at  each age and has ideas and ways these can be achieved. Please take a look for ideas of how best to support at home.
https://www.foundationyears.org.uk/files/2012/03/Development-Matters-FINAL-PRINT-AMENDED.pdf

Below are the Early Learning Goals for the specific areas of the curriculum, please see link above for Early Learning Goals for all areas of learning.

 

READING - 

Children read and understand simple sentences. They use phonic knowledge to decode regular words and read them aloud accurately. They also read some common irregular words. They demonstrate understanding when talking with others about what they have read.

 

Children should be able to....

-Recognise the following graphemes (letters that represent a sound) -

Set 1: s    a   t   p

Set 2: i    n   m   d

Set 3: g   o   c    k

Set 4: ck   e   u   r

Set 5: h   b   f, ff    l, ll     ss

Set 6: j   v   w   x (ks)

Set 7: y   z, zz    qu (kw)

ch   sh   th   ng   ai   ee   igh    oa    oo    ar   or   ur   ow   oi   ear   air   ure   er

 

-Recognise the following words by sight - 

Tricky words - I, to, no, go, the, into, he, she, me, we, be was, my, you, they, her, all, are, said, so, have, like, some, come, were, there, little, one, do, when, out, what

-High Frequency Words - a, an, as, at, if, in, is, it, of, off, on, can, dad, had, back, and, get, big, him, his, not, got, up mum, but, will, that, this, then, them, with, see, now, down, look, too, went, it’s, from, children, just, help

 

 

WRITING -

Children use their phonic knowledge to write words in ways which match their spoken sounds. They also write some irregular common words. They write simple sentences which can be read by themselves and others. Some words are spelt correctly and others are phonetically plausible.

 

NUMBER - 

Children count reliably with numbers from one to 20, place them in order and say which number is one more or one less than a given number. Using quantities and objects, they add and subtract two single-digit numbers and count on or back to find the answer. They solve problems, including doubling, halving and sharing.

Practise correct letter formation when the children are writing and ensure they use the correct sounds when segmenting for writing. The phonetic alphabet can be found here…. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-ksblMiliA8

 

To support mathematics at home you should….

Ensure you continue to provide opportunity to use number and shape in everyday life e.g counting out food, sharing our dinners, discussing shapes you see and their properties.

Use Numbots as a way to develop number fluency. (If you do not have log in please email via class email and rthis will be sent)

WELCOME TO RECEPTION!

 

All of the Reception team, Mrs Venables, Miss Woodford, Mr Cox, Mrs Hole, Mrs Smith, Miss Hall and Mrs Gibbs are really looking forward to the upcoming year.

 

We have lots of fun topics planned during the year based on the children's interests. These experiences will provide us with excellent opportunities such as trips, cooking and visitors coming in to talk to us.  Some of our topics in the past have included pirates and fairy tales and exploring under the sea which included a trip to the Sealife Centre.

 

We will begin learning our sounds, learn how to write (including lots of fine and gross motor activities) and will start to learn lots of various maths skills including measuring, identifying shapes and exploring numbers to 20.  

 

In Reception we learn through play and we are looking forward to creating lots of fun and exciting experiences for the children.  If you feel this is something you could support us with we always welcome volunteers into our base.

 

Below are a few websites that may be of use to help your child continue their learning when at home:
