🌟 Autumn Term 1 🌟
A very warm welcome to Mareham Le Fen Primary School and Red Class!
Starting Reception is the beginning of an exciting journey and we are delighted to be sharing it with you and your child. Our priority during these first few weeks is to help every child feel happy, safe and secure, while getting to know their new friends, teachers and school routines.
We are really looking forward to working closely with you to support your child throughout their Reception year. Please always feel that you can come and speak to us if you have any questions or worries.
Our Learning This Half Term - Autumn Term 1 – Superheroes! 🦸
Our first topic is Superheroes! We will begin with All About Me, before enjoying stories including Supertato, Juniper Jupiter, Even Superheroes Have Bad Days and The Boy with Flowers in His Hair.
Across our learning, the children will:
• 🎨 Create self-portraits, superhero artwork, masks and models.
• 🌱 Explore their senses, vegetables, plants, materials and signs of Autumn.
• 🗺️ Explore our school environment, simple maps and routes.
• 🎵 Sing, move to music and explore instruments through Charanga: Me!
• ⚽ Develop agility, balance and coordination through PE and superhero challenges.
• ❤️ Learn about feelings, friendships, classroom routines, making good choices and how we all belong.
🌍 Understanding the World
We will be talking about how the children have grown and changed since they were babies, using words such as then and now.
👶 Please send us a baby or toddler photograph of your child so that we can look at and discuss some of the wonderful ways they have changed.
✝️ RE – Our Families
We will be learning about the people, places and occasions that are special to us. We will talk about our families and begin to understand that families can have different beliefs, customs and traditions.
👨👩👧👦 We would love you to send in a family photograph. These will help the children talk about the people who are special to them. We will also display them in our Home Corner, where children can look at them and discuss their families with their new friends.
📸 Sending Your Photos
Photos can be sent into school as printed copies. If you are unable to print them, please email them to the school office [email protected] and we will happily print them for you.
🔤 Phonics & Reading
We follow Little Wandle Letters and Sounds Revised. The children will begin learning letter sounds and how to blend sounds together to read simple words.
At home, the most important thing you can do is share books together regularly – talk about the pictures, enjoy favourite stories and help your child develop a love of reading. 📚
🔢 Maths
Maths in Reception is practical and playful. Children will develop their understanding of number, pattern, shape and measure through games, songs and practical activities.
You can help at home by counting everyday objects, spotting numbers, singing counting songs and playing simple dice or board games.

⚽ PE Day – Thursday
Our PE day will be Thursday, beginning on Thursday 10th September. Please send your child to school wearing their PE kit on Thursdays.
Please make sure that all items of PE kit, including shoes and jumpers, are clearly named.
🏡 Building Independence
You can really help your child by encouraging them to practise:
Please ensure that all belongings are clearly named – all clothing, shoes, PE kit, water bottles etc.
We feel very privileged to be part of the beginning of your child's school journey and cannot wait to see them learn, grow and flourish throughout their Reception year.
If you have any questions, queries or concerns at any point, please do speak to one of us or give the school a call. We are always happy to help and want to work closely with you throughout your child's Reception journey.
Here's to a fantastic first half term together! 🌟
