Welcome From Percy.
Hi it is Percy here again!
Can you believe it is already the second term in Reception? This is one of my favourite terms because I get to eats lots of food. We taste some Chinese food when the class learn all about Chinese New Year and I am not sure if the children know, but one type of Chinese food we try is green seaweed!
Our key topics are toys and Africa. I love both of these because we will be playing with old and new toys and then I get to see some of my friends from the African jungle. The week when the children make African drums always seems to give Mrs Bowman, Mrs Peeling and Mrs Hulton a headache. I cannot think why!
Anyway I had better go now and hunt out my favourite toy to show reception.
Speak to you again next term. Squaaaak
Percy

Reading Books and Phonics in Reception.
Phonics
In Reception we follow the 'Letters and Sounds' guidance. Alongside this we use 'Phonics Play'. This has a website with lots of useful resources and also includes lesson plans which are adapted by the school. 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.
The schemes we use are:
Oxford Reading Tree Collins Big Cat
Ginn Reading 360 Talk a Story
Read with Biff Chip and Kipper Rigby Star
Rigby Rocket Usborne Very First Reading
Usborne Phonics Readers Floppies Phonics
Termly Coverage Overviews
There is a copy of our Spring Term coverage sheet below. This outlines some of the objectives we will be covering in class this term.
Below are downloadable copies of the coverage sheets for the Autumn and Summer Term:

Welcome PowerPoint.
The link below will take you to our welcome PowerPoint. The PowerPoint will stay on the website for future reference.
Welcome Meeting Documents.
The downloadable documents below are ones that you might find useful through the year. They range from our 'Reception Class Promises' to an overview of the EYFS curriculum and objectives.
The red link below takes you to another useful government document which outlines more features of 'Early Years' and helps to illustrate 'what to expect when' in terms of learning.
Again, these documents will all stay on the website for future reference, so do not feel you have to take them all in right now.
