Welcome to the Dazzling Dormice!
Reception – Dazzling Dormice
Welcome!
We hope you have had fabulous summer and you are ready for a new term in the Dazzling Dormice. We are looking forward to meeting all of our new friends that are starting with us.
We also look forward to being a part of your child’s next stage of their early education.
Learning Focus
This term our topic is ‘Marvellous Me’
This topic was chosen as it is important for the children to have a really good sense of who they are as an individual and what makes them, them! We will also be investigating who is in their family and what makes their family special to them.
It is important for the children to know why they are special and what makes them unique. They need to know how people are different and similar, starting with those familiar to them then extending to other families in a wider context. The children also need lots of freedom and choice to practise a range of skills and develop knowledge across many areas.
