WELCOME TO THE WORLD OF RECEPTION
Within Reception we aim to give your child the opportunity to learn through play. To facilitate this, we have a well-resourced classroom and an inviting outdoor space where we aim to make your child’s first year in school a fun and exciting experience!

Daily Readers
Once your child has settled into reception they will bring home a reading book and reading record which will need to be brought back into school every day. At Ryelands’ the expectation is your child will share their reading book each night at home. During the Autumn term, your child will come home with sounds to practise and simple words which use these sounds (reading games). This will be a significant step in learning to read. Any time you can spend with your child talking about their sounds, words or reading book will assist with the development of your child’s reading ability.
P.E.
PE will commence after Christmas.

Autumn 1
During Autumn 1 half term reception have been focused on building bonds and embedding routines and expectations. In addition, we looked at how we are the same and what is different. We have used texts to support their learning (Same but Different, Our Skin and Only One You) and enhanced each area of learning to embed this. The children have been introduced to Phonics and early number concepts and some are already beginning to read and write simple words, compare small amounts and subitise up to 6! An excellent start to our Reception year.

Reading and Writing Progression Grids in Reception
Here are the Ryelands Reception Writing Progression sheets and Ryelands Reading/ Phonics Progression sheets. These show the steps that a child will go through in order to meet (or exceed) the Early Learning Goals in Reading and Writing at the end of Reception. It is also clear to see what is expected throughout each term.
