Reception
Spring 2 2025
Our topic this half term is 'People who help us'
Welcome to the Spring term 2, I hope you've had an enjoyable and peaceful half term break.
As we kick off the this half term, I want to extend a warm welcome to all of our Reception learners and hope you're eagerly looking forward to the educational journey we have in store.
We'll be engaging in our English and Maths lessons, along with a rich and diverse curriculum.
PE will be every Wednesday. Please ensure children's PE kits are in school.
I encourage you to explore our Spring 2 Knowledge Organizer, which highlights some of the key concepts we'll be focusing on and teaching throughout this half term. Please make use of this tool when supporting your child's studies at home, as it will aid in strengthening their knowledge and retention of skills.
Thank you for checking out our Dojo Page. We try to post lots of photos so you can see what the children have been learning whilst in Reception. You can send photos and messages back to us so we can see how the children are practicing their skills at home too.
Please don't hesitate to contact us if you have any questions or concerns. You can message us via Class Dojo or speak to us at the end of the school day.

Phonics is the foundation for children beginning their reading journey. In Reception we follow the scheme created by Read Write Inc. Through Read Write Inc children can build on letter formation while learning to read.
The links below will expire on the 4th of July 2025. If you need them after this time please message me on classdojo.
Don't forget we have a letter of the day each day on our classdojo class story!
