Reception Home Learning
Welcome to Home Learning Support for Reception Children
IMPORTANT
Please remember that all children may be unsettled out of their usual routine and with the current situation. They may be anxious and may struggle to settle to learning at home, so allow time for you and you children to adapt. In Reception, the children do not ‘work’ all day long. We have a few short adult led inputs for approximately 10 minutes at a time. The rest of the day is spent learning and consolidating through play.
In Reception, we spend a lot of time focusing on children’s physical and social development so take the opportunity to play games together, go for walks, explore the garden, look for signs of Spring. Please also continue to encourage your children to develop their independence skills e.g. dressing themselves, fastening shoes & coats.
Here are some ideas of things to do at home…
Challenge: can you rewrite the story using words like Once upon a time, one day, then, next.
Challenge: turn over 1 card & work out how many more you need to make 10.

Welcome to the Wren's Nest!
Early Years Foundation Stage
Hello! Thank you for popping over to visit our page!
There’s always LOTS to see and do over here as we’re always SO busy! We are based in a purpose built Foundation Stage unit at Wren Park and have a fantastic environment in which we grow and develop through structured, play-based, practical & hands-on learning. Our own safe & secure outdoor space provides so many opportunities for learning throughout the year and is available for all our ‘Owls’ to access daily – come rain or shine!
Our Reception year is made up of two registration groups & we are known as either a Tawny Owl or a Barn Owl. All our ‘owls’ have opportunity to work together at various times throughout the day and week, either indoors or out, taking part in either adult-led or child-initiated learning.
Curriculum
Our children access a broad and balanced EYFS curriculum, which covers 7 areas of learning. Within these areas of learning, there are three Prime Areas:
Communication and Language
Physical Development
Personal, Social and Emotional Development
and four Specific Areas:
Understanding the World
Expressive Arts and Design
Topics covered
We have a topic approach to teaching and learning which makes it meaningful to our owls. All our activities are based around a theme for each term and then broken down into smaller weekly topics.
