Broadfields Primary School

 Our Classes

Curriculum Overview

In Reception, we follow the curriculum set out in the Early Years Foundation Stage, which covers all areas of children’s learning and development from birth to five years old.  The EYFS divides the curriculum into seven areas of learning and development – the ‘prime areas’, Communication and language, Physical development, and Personal, social and emotional development, and the ‘specific areas’, Literacy, Mathematics, Understanding the world and Expressive arts and design. These lead to 17 Early Learning Goals, which summarise the knowledge, skills and understanding that children should gain by the end of the Reception year.

In order to teach in a manner that fosters the Characteristics of Effective Learning we begin each term with a broad topic and then follow the children's lead.  Below is a guide to our starting topics this academic year.

Phonics

These are the sounds your children are learning in their reception year.

 Important Information

Class Fund

We Kindly ask for a donation of either £1 a week, £5 a half term or £10 a term.

This helps us to buy little treats to make your child learning extra special.

Homework

Homework will be set on Dojo every Thursday and needs to be uploaded onto the

Dojo portfolio every Tuesday. 

Reading 

Please read with your child at home everyday. Keep the reading record and book in

your child’s bag everyday.  This will enable us to keep their diary up to date.

If you have any suggestions, queries or concerns do not hesitate to speak to us at

the end of any school day, email us or Dojo message us. 

We will be using Dojo as the main form of communication this year.
