What we are learning in Reception 

Reception Treasured Texts 

Autumn Term 2025

Autumn term 2025

The children have settled very well, making new friends and learning about their new school environment.  The children have had a wonderful time exploring their new classroom and outdoor area. All of the children have been taking part in weekly P.E lessons and music lessons by specialist teachers. 

Our first treasured text was 'The Colour Monster'. The children have started to explore labelling their different emotions and using our display to show how they are feeling. We have also started to explore what we can do when we feel a certain way, such as star breathing and different activities. This is supported by 'Calming Kittens'. We will be sending more information about these to support at home. As part of the 'Enormous Turnip' treasured text, the children enjoyed acting out the story, pretending to pull and heave the turnip out of the ground. 

As part of our celebration of Black History Month (October) have taken part in African dancing workshops, all of the children enjoyed learning the dance moves and moving their body to the rhythm. They also enjoyed wearing the African designed belts. 

Thank you to the parents who have attended our phonic workshop. There is more information using the reading/phonic tab on the website.
