Welcome to Reception! Our Units of Learning this half term are ‘Where We Live: London’ and ‘Food’. Over the coming weeks we will learn about London, our Local Area and the wider U.K. We will read some lovely stories about Our King, The Royal Family and Life in London, including my favourite – The Tiger Who Came to Tea! Later in the half term we will explore different types of food, healthy and unhealthy eating, and discuss how we can look after our bodies. In Maths, we will focus on subitising, counting, cardinality and ordinality – very important building blocks for developing our number fluency! The children will begin their phonics journey from their first day of school as we begin learning our Phase 2 graphemes. Finally, in R.E the children will explore the big question, ‘Who made the wonderful world?’ As with every half term, we will also be having a load of fun exploring, learning and experimenting in our indoor and outdoor environments.
