In Literacy we will be reading some well-known and well-loved stories including The Billy Goats Gruff, The Tiger Who Came to Tea, Dear Zoo, Whatever Next, Pass the Jam Jim and many more. We will also be sharing stories linked to the children's interests to further develop their love of reading.

In maths the children will continue on their journey through Big Maths in addition to developing independent problem-solving skills and exploration of concepts in their play.

The  Reception children will also continue to access weekly gymnastics and yoga sessions to support their physical development and build their confidence in gaining new skills.
