Reception - Sprites and Unicorns

Spring Term 2, 2026

Welcome back to Spring 2.

This page is designed to provide you with the key information to help make the term as successful as possible.

Our Learning This Term

“Exploring Places Around the World”

We will be learning about different countries and discovering what makes them special. In our learning adventure, we will be comparing Food, landmarks, languages and transport. Each week, we will travel (in our imaginations!) to a different country and go on a Pokémon-style fact hunt, collecting knowledge like trainers catching Pokémon!

RWI

Children will continue to work in their RWI groups. Focusing on set 1 or set 2 sounds. We will also be doing “Fred Spelling” and “Hold a Sentence” across the curriculum.

Mathematics In Mathematics, pupils will be working on developing a deeper understanding of numbers 9 and 10. Exploring height and length and 3-d shape.

Wider Curriculum

Music Children will be learning a range of nursery rhymes and action songs including body percussion and keeping to a beat. We will also be learning to sing together.

PSHE In PSHE, our focus will be on differences.

Physical Education (P.E.) P.E. lessons take place on Wednesdays and Fridays. Please ensure your child comes to school dressed in their P.E. kit on these days. If your child has pierced ears, earrings must be removed or covered with tape for the lesson.

If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to get in touch via Class Dojo or speak to a member of the Reception team directly.

Thank you for your continued support.
