Dear Parents/Carers,
The Reception team would like to share with you our main aspects of learning for this half
term, so that you can continue to support your child at home. We hope with your help, the
children will be able to achieve the objectives we plan for them.
Mathematics
We are practising counting forwards and
backwards from any given number and adding
and subtracting two numbers. Our calculating
learning will involve practical tasks, such as
adding a group of objects together or taking
away. We will also be learning the names and
properties of 2D (flat) and 3D (solid) shapes.
We will be looking for shapes in the indoor
and outdoor environment. We will be using
large bricks and blocks to build and
construct. We will be
supporting the children to use
their own methods to solve
practical problems with
shapes.
Physical Development
This half term we are focusing on using larger
equipment in the hall and the outdoor activity
area. We will be teaching the children how to
travel in different directions and using the
key vocabulary left, right, forwards and
backwards. The children will be learning to
hold different positions and body shapes on
large apparatus. We will be
teaching them how to carry
and transport large
equipment safely.
of year.
Watch out for fundraising events later this term. These will be held in order to raise money
for trips later this year.
We hope some of these ideas will be helpful to you. If you have any questions, queries or
concerns we are always willing to talk them through with you. If we are unable to answer your
question immediately, we are always willing to make an appointment for a more suitable time.
Thank you for your support on behalf of the Reception Team
