WELCOME TO RECEPTION OAK CLASS
On this page, you will get updates about your child's learning journey, and get snapshots on what our day looks like in Oak class. These pages will be updated termly.
Term 1
The first few weeks of your child's learning journey, is all about settling them into their new environment, and getting used to school life. This term, we will be undertaking a series of baseline activities to gain an understanding of your child's starting points. Alongside this, we will be celebrating them, as individuals, whilst getting to know their interests, achievements and memories. A focus of our learning will be based on animals, as it is a familiar subject that most children enjoy; this will be explored through stories and play.
Term 1
Alongside our English baseline activities, we will be exploring a range of core texts, such as the Elmer series by David McKee, 'The Tiger Who Came to Tea' and 'We're Going on a Bear Hunt'.
Whilst exploring these texts, through play, discussion and art, we will be building up the pupils familiarity of stories, so they can retell plots in some detail, and make relevant predictions.
EYFS Maths Long Term Plan 24 25
Term 1
In Term 1, we will be undertaking a range of baseline activities, such as numeral recognition, 1:1 correspondence with counting and creating patterns. These activities are designed to best support your child in their maths learning. All activities will be engaging, hands- on and practical.
Our main focus is getting to know the children; their families, all about their holidays and favourite memories. This allows us to start exploring the concept of 'Growing Up', and start thinking about how we have changed. Alongside this, we will be discussing where children have been, and finding them on a map of our big, vast world. As well as different places, we will also be exploring our local community, and what it has to offer.
As the seasons change, we will be exploring and playing with lots of different seasonal objects, including beautifully coloured leaves, shiny conkers and different sized acorns!
Our rich environment offers many different arty activities. This term, we have been creating collages of the character Elmer, drawing maps, and doing lots of painting and colour mixing.
The concept of colour mixing is explored further in the children's art lessons, with Mrs Clarkson.
