1 Reception Curriculum Evening

2 Learning within the EYFS are based on what children already know about and can do. They recognise children s different interests and needs. Learning is planned for key groups for phonics, maths and writing. Other activities are planned as a class or for specific children. Some activites are also planned where the children can use resources to initiate and develop their own learning.

3 There are 7 areas in the Foundation Stage curriculum: Personal, social and emotional development Physical development Communication and language Literacy Mathematics Understanding of the world Expressive art and design

4 In class these areas of learning often overlap as we learn about our current topics. This term we have been learning about urselves with a strong focus on personal, social and emotional development. For example, getting to know each other and getting to know how school works. We have lots of mini topics throughout the year, often based around a story. We make the most of seasonal events and celebrations. We also take account of the children s interests wherever possible.

5 Give opportunities for children to speak and listen Follow instructions and answer How and Why questions Talk about matters of interest Listen in a range of situations Express themselves effectively Encouraged to talk about ideas and events

6 Physical development During outdoor games and activities we develop the children s spatial awareness and basic skills of moving, by getting them to explore the space around them and using different parts of their body. This is also developing their control and co-ordination in movement and encourages confidence and co-operation.

7 Physical development P.E. is timetabled once a week to help develop all three areas of physical development Games Dance Gymnastics

8 Physical development Physical development in Reception does not just involve the outdoors and PE, it also develops their: Fine motor skills such as writing, cutting, folding Independence to dress, thread, button and use simple tools Understanding of a healthy lifestyle

9 Phonics Literacy In literacy, we learn the letter sounds and begin to use them to build words. We learn some words by sight.

10 Literacy We will also work on: Learning the letter names and correct letter formation of lower and upper case handwriting Blending c a t (Reading) Segmenting c r a sh (Writing)

11 Literacy Writing Begin to use their phonic knowledge to write regular and irregular words Opportunities to mark make Write single letters, labels and then sentences. Focus on punctuation.

12 Literacy Reading Listen to and enjoy a range of texts Begin to understand information can be found from a range of texts Use their phonic knowledge to read regular and irregular words Further their comprehension of texts

13 Literacy Literacy is a great subject to support at home and when you are out and about. Eye spy using the letter name and sound Support them to recognise sounds and words on sign posts Encouraging them to join in with key phrases in their favourite bedtime stories Practise phonics and words

14 Mathematics Numbers Count reliably up to 20 objects Order numbers correctly to 20 and then beyond Be able to say one more or one less than a given number Add and subtract single digit numbers using objects Begin to solve problems including double, halve and share

15 Mathematics Space, shape and measure Begin to use everyday language to talk about: Size Weight Time Money Recognise, create and describe patterns Use mathematical terms to describe 2D and 3D shapes

16 Mathematics Mathematics is a great subject to support at home. It is all around us from playing with foam numbers in the bath, to describing the different 3D shapes in their environment. Look for numbers on houses, cars and packaging. Talk about time in every day activities. Count everything and anything!

17 Mathematics Whilst you are shopping ask you child to: Find a smaller box Put items in order Which bag is heavier? Find the 2 pence coins How many biscuits will be left? How many will we get each?

18 Understanding the world Your children will be learning about: People and communities Discussing past and present events Talking about similarities and differences between themselves and others The world Exploring the environment they live in Make observations of animals and plants, explaining why some thing occur and talking about changes Use and explore a variety of materials

19 Understanding the world Technology Recognise that a range of technology is used in home and school Use a range of programs on the computers Show an interest in technological toys such as cameras, beebots and MP3 recorders and headsets The children learn how to use the equipment independently as well as using it to help support their learning.

20 Expressive arts and design Expressive arts and design involves: Singing songs Music Dance Exploring materials Experimenting with colour and texture

21 Expressive arts and design Expressive arts and design enables the children to use what they have learnt about media and materials in imaginative ways. They are taught key skills. They are encouraged to express their ideas, thoughts and feelings through art, technology, role play and stories.

22 Personal, social and emotional development Making relationships Develop self-confidence and self-awareness Manage their feelings and behaviour

23 Personal, social and emotional development This area is a major focus in the first term; the children are encouraged to become comfortable and independent in their new surroundings. They learn about routines and expectations.

24 Personal, social and emotional development Children are taught to: Play co-operatively, taking turns with others Share ideas with confidence A have a go attitude to new activities Work as part of a group that understands and follows the rules and looks after each other To adjust their behaviour to different situations To concentrate on a task and persevere We want children to develop a strong and positive sense of self-identity in a safe environment.

25 We recognise the importance of learning through play. Play takes place both inside and outside the classroom.

26 A single play activity is often developing many skills simultaneously including: Making choices Stating preferences Problem solving Developing independence Physical development Persistence Building confidence Language development Developing social skills

27 In play children develop the necessary skills of learning. They learn how to learn. These skills can then be transferred and used to help them acquire the knowledge based content of the National Curriculum throughout their school career. Children need these foundations to be able to achieve their full potential.
