  4. The New FS Curriculum There are seven areas of learning and development that must shape educational programmes in early years settings. All areas of learning and development are important and inter-connected. Three areas are particularly crucial for igniting children’s curiosity and enthusiasm for learning, and for building their capacity to learn, form relationships and thrive. • Communication and language • Physical development • Personal, social and emotional development Four specific areas through which the three prime areas are strengthened and applied. • Literacy • Mathematics • Understanding the world • Expressive arts and design The three prime areas are: Four specific areas are: EYFS p4

  5. Assessment The Foundation Stage Profile • During the first 6 weeks, the teachers will be completing a baseline assessment on each child. • Use observations (Learning Stories) • The FS profile is continually filled in to enable teachers to monitor and celebrate individual progress and to identify next steps for development. • Pieces of work are collated into a child’s Record of Achievement. • Evidence of writing examples, maths work, ICT work, photographs, learning experiences, homework, etc. are all used for assessment.

  6. English and Maths • In Reception we will teach Phonics, English and Maths everyday. The children will work through a range of objectives and activities taken from the Foundation curriculum. • The children will also take part in a 15 minute dough disco. This is a fun activity to start each day and is vital for physical development, especially for their fine motor skills. • Here is a copy of our Autumn Term Timetable:

  7. Reading When will my child get a reading book? For the first few weeks in Reception, the teachers will be completing a baseline assessment. This assessment will show us exactly where your child is on the Foundation profile. We will give your child a book which is in line with their phonic knowledge. If your book has words then please don’t expect your child to read them straight away. Many of the books have repetitive text and children use the picture cues to help them with the words. When will the book be changed? • The books will be changed once per week. The day will vary (5 children per day) • Reading books must be brought into school every day. • Guided reading happens everyday, each child will read with an adult twice per week. • Their reading record book should be signed by an adult to say they have read and feedback any difficulties or concerns. We encourage children to read other books of their own at home • The wider the variety of reading material they experience, the better. Reading meeting

  8. Behaviour • We expect all parents and children to sign the home school agreement. • Good to be green • Consequences • Day to day behaviour. • Come and see us! Please remember that some children find it hard to communicate with each other and often use their hands to express themselves.

  9. THE NEST AT NEWTON Nurture Group A nurture group is a small class of six to eight children which acts as a kind of bridge between home and school. It offers additional help for pupils within a small, structured ‘home like’ classroom. We incorporate curriculum activities although the majority of the learning is social, emotional, behavioural aspects of learning.

  10. Homework • We will be sending homework home each week. This will consist of: • Phonic Work • Reading book • Word recognition • Other homework

  11. Finally We appreciate all the help you can give. I hope we can work together to make Reception a successful and enjoyable experience for your child. Teachers will be around on their classroom door each morning for any short messages that you want to pass on. If you wish to make an appointment after school to speak to your child’s class teacher please arrange this with your class teacher or via the office, we are always happy to discuss any of your concerns or queries that you may have. Miss Tyson(Foundation Stage Leader) Miss Jones and Mrs Davies
