Curriculum Plan for Reception Parents

This curriculum plan will provide an overview of the learning experiences and opportunities your child will be involved in each half term. You can use it for your own information and to help support your child's learning at home. Talk to your child about what they have done at school and encourage them to notice and discuss the world around them. Play games and activities reinforcing the skills and activities outlined, and share and enjoy stories, rhymes and songs together.

Many thanks,

Mrs Timothy
