Reception 2018 - 2019

Miss Campbell

Welcome to the St Matthew's Reception Page

Our final term is upon us and what a wonderful term it is going to be! I am looking forward to seeing lots of fantastic learning taking place and the children flourishing so much that their independence continues to grow each day.

This summer term, we will be using the following topics to engage the children's imaginations in order to help them reach their early learning goals:

Tradtional Tales and Around the World

In addition, we always try to adapt our topics as children are encouraged to follow their own interests and fascinations!

Please see below a range of useful links to understand how your child learns and to help them at home:

We will be reading stories such as The Gingerbread Man and Little Red Riding Hood throughout our English learning sessions, along with exploring numbers and place value in maths. Our learning will also be linked to the specific and prime areas of the Early Years Foundation Stage Development Matters, which include:

Personal, Social and Emotional Development

Communication & Language

Physical Development

Literacy

Maths

Understanding the World

Expressive Art & Design

Keep an eye out on our school page and through Tapestry for updates on school events, trips and Year 1 transition meetings.

I am looking forward to a fantastic summer term!
