Reception Classes
Welcome to Reception, we are part of the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS).
We are...
The Smartest Giants The Hungry Caterpillars
We follow the Cherry Fold values: Enjoy, Respect, Succeed!
Our first trip...
We have visited a local park called Scott Park. It is named after John Hargreaves Scott who was the mayor of Burnley a long time ago. We explored the season of Autumn.
Our first full term.
The spring term has begun and the lighter nights are on the way. We had a great first full term in Reception. We have been reading stories linked to different celebrations and we have learnt all about Bonfire Night, Diwali and Christmas. We made Barfi, Gingerbread Men and we even had some snow! We have really enjoyed taking part in our nativity and celebrating Christmas. In the Spring term we look forward to learning all about transport and how things move.

How our curriculum looks...
We use Development Matters to support our curriculum, this is alongside all statutory elements of the EYFS. We base our provision on common play behaviours and we ensure progression from Nursery to the end of Reception. To support this progression we have a vocabulary and skills progression document. All of these feed into our weekly planning, alongside our ongoing assessment of children's progress, next steps and interests. We use Red Rose Letters and Sounds for our phonics curriculum. We use Red Rose Mastery Maths and NCETM for our mathematics curriculum. Please ask if you would like to see these planning documents.
