In Reception, the children follow the Early Years Curriculum.  Learning and development covers the 7 key areas of learning within the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS), which are: 

• personal, social and emotional development. 

• communication and language. 

• physical development. 

• literacy. 

• mathematics. 

• understanding the world. 

• expressive arts and design. 

Every morning, following registration, a whole-class teaching session will introduce the pupils to a key learning concept which is to be a focus for the day. The class then divides into two groups; one group continues their learning in our outside area, with one adult, whilst the other group continues their learning inside.  Activities will include an adult-led focused task with direct teaching. Alongside, child-initiated activities run, often linked to the class topic theme.  The groups change locations later in the morning. As the children settle in the Autumn term, the children have a daily phonics and a daily number teaching session.
