Our All About Me topic is a wonderful way to begin the Reception year, helping children settle into school while exploring who they are and the world around them. Throughout the topic, we will learn about ourselves, our bodies, our feelings, and what makes each of us unique. We will also explore My Family and Me, discover Where I Live, and learn about the different people who help us both in school and within our local community. This engaging topic provides many exciting opportunities for learning across all areas of the curriculum. Through stories, play, creative activities, and hands-on experiences, children will build confidence, develop new friendships, and begin their learning journey in a fun, nurturing, and meaningful way.
Over the next few weeks we will share a range of books in class to enhance our theme.
