Welcome to Reception and to Squirrels class. Here you will find useful information about our learning.

We're really looking forward to helping our new Reception children to settle into school life.

INFORMATION FOR PARENTS

Phonics

We teach Read Write Inc Phonics every day from the very start of Reception. It's very important to pronounce each sound (phoneme) using 'pure sounds'. This is because it helps children when they begin to blend sounds together to read words. Here is a video guide to pronouncing each of the Read Write Inc Set 1 sounds correctly:

RWI set 1 sounds

Tapestry 

In Reception, we use Tapestry, an online learning journal for children in the Early Years Foundation Stage. We use Tapestry to give our parents a regular snapshot of their child's learning and experiences in school.
