At Edgewick we follow the three school rules; Be Kind, Be Ready, Be Respectful.
In Reception, children begin their school journey in a safe, nurturing, and stimulating environment where curiosity and creativity are at the heart of learning. Through play, exploration, and hands-on experiences, children develop the essential building blocks for future success—growing in confidence, resilience, and independence.
This Summer Term, our learning theme is “Where We Are in Place and Time.” Children will develop an understanding of the past and present through the exploration of simple historical concepts. We will begin by learning about dinosaurs, including when they lived and what life was like during that time. This will be followed by a focus on the development of motor vehicles, where children will explore and compare differences between vehicles from the past and those used today.
To enrich this learning, we are delighted to announce that we will be visiting the Coventry Transport Museum and Coventry Cathedral as part of this topic.
Books play a vital role in supporting learning and are an invaluable resource in the classroom. This term, we will be reading Dinosaurs Love Underpants, Mr Gumpy’s Motor Car, and The Three Little Pigs to complement our theme.
In Mathematics, children will continue to develop their understanding of number, with a particular focus on addition and subtraction. We will also explore 3D shapes, identifying their properties such as faces and edges. Children will be encouraged to use appropriate mathematical vocabulary, such as “solid 3D shapes” and “flat 2D shapes.”
As the weather becomes warmer and brighter, children will also explore seasonal changes during the summer. There will be opportunities to visit Foleshill Park, where children can observe blossoms and notice changes in the environment firsthand.
We have set up Floppy's Phonics online for parents. This will allow you to access the teaching tools we use in school as well as some ebooks for reading. If you're not sure how to log on, please ask a member of staff. We will gladly help you!
