Reception

Academic Year 2026 - 2027

Autumn Term 1 Topic (Sept to Oct) - Me and My Community

In the Me and My Community topic, your child will learn about the school community and building friendships. They will explore the school grounds and find out about all the people in school who are there to help them. They will explore how they are special and unique and how everyone’s family is different. They will take part in practical activities to support them to build new friendships and explore what makes a good friend. They will also find out about people in the community who help us, including doctors, nurses, and the emergency services.

Supporting your child at home

  • Look at any childhood photographs of parents and grandparents.
  • Talk about the things you like to do together and places you like to go.
