EYFS

Welcome to EYFS!

Welcome to Reception. We are the youngest learners in school and the newest members of the Kidgate family! We are taking the first steps on our learning journey, making friends and memories along the way.

We learn through play in our wonderful environment. We love to share stories, sing songs and explore and investigate inside and out. We love to observe and ask questions about the world around us.

We learn to read and write through Read, Write, Inc. phonics. We begin by learning the set 1 sounds, before using the sounds to blend to read and segment to spell words (Fred Talk and Fred Fingers). We then to put these words together to read and write short sentences.

In Mathematics, we focus on numbers to 5 during the Autumn term, learning to recognise, group, subitise and develop maths mastery. We move on to numbers to 10 in the Spring term. In the summer term we learn to count beyond 10 and learn about doubles, halving and sharing and odds and evens. Maths is all around us and we love to bring number to life in all that we do.

What an exciting first year in school we will have.
