Welcome From Percy.

Hi it is Percy here!

 I am so sorry I have not met you all properly yet. It was a little bit hot for me outside in July when you came and visited school.

I am looking forward to meeting you all though. All your teachers have been in school getting the classroom ready for you all. It is looking great. I overheard them talking and it seems like there are lots of exciting new things that we are going to be learning about this term.

I sometimes get a little bit muddled up though when I learn new things, so I am hoping that you will all be able to help me a little bit. I always try my best but I do not always get things right. All the Reception teachers tell me that that is ok though, as long as I have tried.

I am sure we are going to have lots of fun together. I had better go and tidy up my part of the classroom. The reading area has changed over the summer. I think I might make my new home in there, it looks really exciting.

See you all soon.

Percy

EYFS Yearly Curriculum Maps

Below, there is a link to the yearly curriculum map for Reception.

We now follow the White Rose maths planning as a school. We use the long term overview that they provide, as an outline and then use a combination of their lesson plans and our own resources. The second link below will take you to the Reception part of the White Rose website.

The second document below, gives more of an outline of the types of activities that will be undertaken across the term.

Below are downloadable copies of the termly coverage overviews and activity overviews for the Spring and Summer Term:

Reading Books and Phonics in Reception.

Phonics - In Reception we follow the 'Letters and Sounds' guidance. In order support with the delivery of the the requirements outlined in the guidance we use 'Phonics Play'. This has a website with lots of useful resources and also includes lesson plans which are adapted by the school. Further details about our phonics policy and provision can be found on the English  subject website page. In addition, when we introduce each phoneme we use the 'Jolly Phonics' actions as a lot of children are familiar with some of these from their nursery.

Reading - We have a variety of reading schemes in reception that we run alongside each other using book banded levels. We do this in order to provide a greater variety in books and help maintain interest in books. The books given to children are closely linked to their current working phonics level.

The schemes we use are: 

Oxford Reading Tree                                  Collins Big Cat                  Ginn Reading 360                                      Talk a Story                                                    Floppies Phonics

Rigby Star                                                  Rigby Rocket                     Usborne Very First Reading                      Usborne Phonics Readers
