Reception
Half-Term: Autumn 1
Theme: Me and My World!
In EYFS, we believe that this is the start of our journey, where we build relationships with yourselves as a family. As part of this relationship, we have provided a new ‘menu’ of suggested learning activities for your child to complete with you during this half term. These activities can be brought back into school and shared as part of our ‘show and tell’ sessions, where we encourage children to communicate in front of their peers as part of our drive to improve children’s speaking and listening at an early age. These activities are aimed at supporting your child’s learning and development in school. In addition to the homework bingo, Children in Reception will also bring a library book each week to share at home with an adult. As you will appreciate, reading is fundamental to a child’s progress in all areas of the curriculum! Therefore, we expect all children to read with an adult a minimum three times per week. Later in the half-term, Reception children will bring a reading book home once they have learnt the first set of sounds. This will be a sound blending book and will match the sounds they have already been taught in school. Children should read this book daily to an adult at home. Once they can read this book confidently, they will move onto the next book. We can’t wait to see your work!

Draw a picture of people who are special to you.
Scissor Skills
What can you make using a pair of scissors, two pieces of paper and some glue?
Be as creative as you can!
My Name is…
Can you practise forming the letters in your name? You could practice using sand and shaving foam, before using pens and pencils!
Bob the Builder
Can you build a model of your house? You can use lego blocks or other things you might have around your house! What is your favourite room and why?
Reading Den
Build a reading den and read in it! Fill your den with lots of comfy cushions, blankets and teddies and read a story of your own with a family member.

How many times can you spot the number 2 on your way to school? Where might you find the number 2 around your house?
Wrap Up Warm
Can you practise taking your coat on and off all by yourself?
Pairs
Find objects around your house which are in pairs. Muddle them all up. Can you match them back together again?
