Welcome to Reception! We recognise how important and special this year is for so many reasons and we aim to reflect that in all that we do throughout the year. We start by making sure the children are comfortable in their new school environment. Making friends and building positive relationships with staff is a priority so there is lots of time for play both independent or guided by the adults. Activities are carefully planned around our Talk for Writing texts, this half term we are reading ‘5 stories in 5 weeks’.
We will begin to introduce your child to sounds following the phonics scheme 'Read Write Inc'. We will introduce your child to Fred the frog. Fred can only say the sounds in a word and needs your child to help read the word. Fred will say the sounds and children will work out the word. For example, Fred will say the sounds c-a-t and children will say the word cat. This is Fred Talk: sounding out the word.
