You can discuss the curriculum with your child
The overview for our learning this half-term is ‘MY WORLD’. This will focus around a number of books: Jack and the Beanstalk (fiction story) and Growing and The Bean and Seasons (non-fiction texts). These will help the children learn about the all things that grow and change, and what things they need to grow healthily. We will learn about plants, growth and changes of over time.
Please spend a few minutes chatting with your child and ask them some questions, such as: What helps us to grow? What things do plants need to grow? What season are we in now…can you remember and talk about the other seasons? Have you planted a seed or bean? What happened? Do you know the names of any flowers or have a favourite flower?
Please write your child’s ideas, questions and comments in the speech bubble that we will give you and return it back to the Turtle Class team, so we can continue the conversation in school.

The Early Learning Goals
Our curriculum supports our children to meet the Early Learning Goals. You can find out more below:
The Reception Baseline Assessment
Children in reception will be participating in the reception baseline assessment within the first 6 weeks of them starting. The purpose of the assessment is to provide the starting point for a progress measure that will help parents understand how well schools support their pupils to progress between reception and year 6.
The reception baseline assessment is a short, interactive and practical assessment of your child’s early literacy, communication, language and mathematics skills when they begin school, using materials that most children of your child’s age will be familiar with. You can find an information leaflet below:
