Reception 2018 - 2019

Welcome to St Matthew's Reception Homepage!

I want to say a very big and warm welcome to all of the wonderful children that are embarking on their journey with me and the wonderful team in the early years at St Matthew's. All the children are settling in well and really enjoying exploring their new environment, making new friends and engaging in lots of new experiences.

We are starting off this brand new school year by engaging in activities that involve getting to know each other, learning how to share and making we sure we take ownership of our own learning by doing lots of learning through play.

Our first topic, which lots of our areas of learning are linked to is 'All about Me'. We will be exploring who we are, what we link and dislike, along with discussing where we live and who is in our family.

We will be reading stories such as Funny Bones and Guess How Much I love you! throughout our English learning sessions, along with exploring numbers and shape 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 our Reception 'Welcome' Meeting.

I am looking forward to a fantastic autumn term and seeing how well all of the children in Reception grow.
