Reception We use a visual timetable so that the children know what they will be doing throughout the day. We have four areas within our Reception unit: Mrs Barnes’ classroom, Miss Clarke’s classroom, the middle room and the outdoor classroom. The children have access to all four areas each day. We have four supporting adults within our unit. Each area has a range of weekly planned adult led and independent activities.
Reception There are four principles of good practice in the EYFS: 1 Every child is unique 2 Children learn to be strong and independent through positive relationships 3 Children learn and develop well in enabling environments 4 Children develop and learn in different ways and at different rates

Learning Journal The learning journal is a record of your child’s learning in Reception. This year we will be recording this electronically and we will e-mail a copy of this to you at regular intervals. We would like you to share this with your child and e-mail us back with some positive comments about your child’s learning. This could include what you feel their greatest achievement has been over the half term (whether it be learning to read or tying their shoelaces!) It would also be really nice for you to send some positive comments from your child about their learning. This could be what they have enjoyed the most.

You can work through the home learning throughout the half term at a pace that suits you and your child.
