Useful Information
Below are some useful links and some information to support your child's learning in Reception.
What you can do to help at home
It is really important that we work together to follow, guide and support your child's development of learning. Please do share with us anything new that your child is doing at home, anything you think they need support with and also any special moments.You can do this by using your 'Tapestry' app.
Just a few other things you can do to support your child's learning and development at home are:
- Allow your child to be as independent as possible. Can they get themselves dressed? Can they put their shoes on? Can they do up the zips or buttons on their coats? It is important to give them time to practice.
- Each day, share a story together and ask your child questions about what they have read, to check how well they’ve understood the story.
- Practise new phonics sounds and tricky words that we send out to you via Tapestry.
- Choose rhyming stories to read like 'What the ladybird hear', 'Fox socks' or 'Room on a Broom'. If you read the same rhyming story often then your child will eventually join in.
- Take some quality time to talk to each other.
- Make some special time together to have fun. This could be playing a board game, building something out of lego, cooking, acting out a story with teddies/mini figures, painting a picture, making something out of recycled materials, making some play dough or dancing.
- Sing nursery rhymes together like: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 once I caught a fish alive or Five little monkeys, Humpty Dumpty.
