Theme Each week during Autumn Term in Reception we will listen to a new story and explore the meaning of the new words that we hear.

The stories that are chosen are linked to the children’s play and knowledge that we are helping the children to learn. The stories are also linked to familiar events that are happening in the world around them. |
