A big hello from Wren Class!
In Reception, we follow CUSP Early Foundations, we teach this through daily Structured Story Times where we read and enjoy a new book every week. We explore the theme within each book throughout the week through a range of activities that link to the 7 areas of Learning in the Early Years (Communication and Language, Physical Development, Personal, Social and Emotional Development, Literacy, Mathematics, Understanding the World and Expressive Art and Design). Some of our books/ themes include, The Squirrel Who Squabble (Seasons), William Bee’s Things That Go (Transport), Mr Wolfs Pancakes (Shrove Tuesday), Winnie-the-Pooh Helps the Bees (Environments & Living Things) and Standing up to Racism (Inclusivity), to name a few.
Children learn both in our indoor and outdoor environments, through a balance of child-led and adult-led activities. This enables us to plan according to the children’s interests but also expose them to a rich and varied curriculum. Our day is a mixture of short adult-led carpet times to explicitly teach Phonics, Maths and Literacy and the rest of our day is spent learning through continuous provision, as well as enjoying Forest School afternoons every other week.
We use Class Dojo to support home/school communication. We post updates on the School and class story and parents can see their child’s portfolio and message their class teacher.
Towards the end of the year, we complete an EYFS profile which informs both parents and Year 1 teachers about the development of the child through their time in Early Years, assessing them against the Early Learning Goals. This enables a supportive and smooth transition into Key Stage One.
