Learning in Reception
For more information on our phonics program, Little Wandle Letter and Sounds, please follow the link to our phonics page. Early reading is important, and it is vital that children are supported at school and at home to succeed.
As children move through the year, they will be guided to develop their gross and fine motor skills, be creative, be active and learn about the world around them through play and tailored experiences. We love to see the way our reception children grow through the year and you will be amazed by their progress!
The prime areas of learning and development are;
• Communication and language
• Physical development
• Personal, social and emotional development
The specific areas of development, which support the prime areas are;
• Literacy
• Mathematics
• Understanding the world
• Expressive arts and design
Our experienced and approachable reception team will greet you at the door each morning and communicate with you regularly regarding your child’s development. You will find them reassuring as they support you with their Eary Years expertise to ensure that your child get the best possible start in their school life!
