RED CLASS
Our topic this half term is:
Overview
Welcome to Reception Red!
This half term our topic is called ‘All about me!’.
We are looking forward to getting to know you all and welcoming you into our class.
This half term is all about settling the children into their new classroom, and ensuring that the children feel safe and happy when coming into school.
We will begin by participating in circle times, this will give children the opportunity to get to know the teacher and teaching assistant’s in their class and each other. It also allows us to get to know the children and their unique personalities! Children will be given the opportunity to discuss their likes and dislikes, their families and their hobbies outside of school.
In this time, children will be introduced to the resources available both inside, and outside the classroom. They will develop their social and communication skills as they play co operatively and build bonds with their peers.
Once children are settled into their class, we will begin our baseline assessments, these involve little activities to see what the children can do, which will help us to support them further!
