In Reception we like to do a lot of our learning through experimenting and exploring. The children choose where to go and what to do from the moment they arrive – they initiate their own learning from equipment and areas within the classroom and adults join them and support them in their pursuits. We like to get together for carpet time and have different whole class and small adult led activities throughout the day. We focus on Phonics, Maths, Literacy and our Topic during our activities and the children have the opportunity to repeat or extend the activities within our continuous provision areas of learning during our Rainbow Time.
Rainbow time is a very important part of the children’s development and most learning will be introduced through a mixture of carefully planned play and opportunities for the children to choose activities that appeal to them, following their own particular interests.
