The year has flown by and we can’t believe that we’re approaching Summer 2!
As we approach Year 1, we are building the stepping stones for a secure transition. Please use the links in our previous blogs to revisit and review our learning.
Please remember to read daily with your child. Also, log into our online books!
This term, we are reviewing Phase 2 and 3 sounds and tricky words. We will use our phonetic knowledge to begin reading, writing and spelling longer words. Take a look at the following links for some free Home Learning resources.

Hello to our lovely Reception parents and carers,
We are so excited to begin our new term and continue our wonderful learning. This term, our topic is Earth and Beyond – we will discover the planets in our solar system and explore outer space.
Here’s a song to sing at home!

As we begin a new term we would like to kindly remind you that the school day begins at 8:45am and ends at 3:15pm. It is essential for your child’s learning and progress that they arrive on time daily. We are understanding of the occasional lateness but consistent lateness has a huge impact on your child’s overall school experience and we do keep a daily record of late arrivals.
We will be updating this blog with examples of our learning and ideas for home learning so please remember to keep checking the blog!
If you have any questions please come and chat to a member of the Reception Team.
