What will my child learn in her first year at school?

There will be plenty of exciting challenges for your child in her reception year. The activities she does will encourage her to explore her world, to keep trying when things get tough and to think creatively and critically. And they should build her confidence, no matter how quickly or slowly she learns.

If your child hasn't already, she'll be taking her first steps towards being able to read and write. She'll also be learning to count, add up and subtract.

Try not to worry about your child being overwhelmed. Her young brain is designed to soak up lots of new ideas and experiences. Her imagination and natural curiosity will flourish in a stimulating environment.

Until she's in year 1, your child's education is covered by the so-called nappy curriculum (the Early Years Foundation Stage). It should ignite her enthusiasm for learning and help her to progress, make friends and thrive. Her teacher will focus on its three prime areas:
communication and language
physical development
personal, social and emotional development
The curriculum also highlights four specific areas:
literacy
mathematics
understanding the world
expressive arts and design
But your child won't be aware of any of this. She'll be continuing to learn through well-planned play, in a way that's tailored to her age. Some activities will be led by her teacher, but there will still be plenty of opportunities for her to take the initiative.
Will my child learn to read and write?

Perhaps surprisingly, your child will probably spend a lot of her first year talking. Her literacy skills will be built largely on her speaking abilities. So it's really important that she is surrounded by language and gets lots of chances to express herself. Her classroom should be full of stories, poems, songs, drama and debate.

Listening is important too. Her teacher will want your child to be able to listen carefully to other people. Her teacher will read her stories and encourage her to pay attention to what her classmates say and to think about her responses.

The teacher will use lots of "how" and "why" questions to help your child's comprehension. So she'll ask her about things she's done and places she's visited. If your child tells you her teacher wanted to know why mummy has a polka-dot tracksuit, she's not being nosy!

The teacher will probably use a method called synthetic phonics to teach your child to read. This really just means teaching her to link letters with their sounds. Once your child knows the letter sounds, she can begin to work out whole words.

Your child will also be taught some of those annoying words that don't look like how they sound. Words such as "the", "come" or "said" could trip her up, as they can't easily be worked out with phonics.

If you are worried that your child is having trouble decoding words, do talk to her teacher. All children learn at different speeds, but if your child has dyslexia the sooner it is picked up the better.

It won't be long before your child is writing her first words and maybe even building simple sentences. Do praise and encourage her. And don't worry about her spelling. She'll use her phonics to spell so there'll be lots of mistakes. But it will make sense to her.

By the end of her reception year, your child will have probably be able to:
Listen carefully to stories and make sensible guesses as to what will happen next.
Develop her own stories and explanations by connecting ideas or events.
Pay attention to what other people are saying, while doing something else.
Express herself effectively, using past, present and future tenses.
Follow instructions involving several ideas or action.
What mathematics will my child do?

The chances are that your child can count a little already. Her first year at school will build on this knowledge until she's confident with numbers up to 20.

Your child's teacher will encourage her to use objects to add, subtract and solve counting problems. Toys, teddies, fruit, even classmates can all be roped into number games. Singing number rhymes is fun too, particularly when equipment is being handed around.

Her teacher will be keen that the maths relates to your child's own experiences. You can help here too. Point out house numbers. Encourage her to recognise numbers when you're shopping. Or maybe count all the red cars when you go for a walk.

Her teacher will want your child to start to grasp concepts such as size, weight, distance and position. A few sessions playing shop will help your child to understand the basics of money. And there's nothing like being able to move the hands on a big clock to get to grips with time.

Your child will be encouraged to learn in fun ways. Perhaps she'll measure her height in handspans. Or maybe she'll mess about with some scales and work out that a book weighs the same as five wooden blocks. A splashy hour may result in working out how many cups of water fill a bucket.

Soon she may be making comparisons and using mathematical words to describe every-day objects. This isn't as advanced as it sounds. Her class may line up one day and work out who is the tallest and the shortest. And don't be surprised to be told that your nose is a triangle and your eyes are oval.

By the end of her first year, your child will probably be able to:
use every-day language to talk about size, weight, capacity, distance and time
do simple addition and subtraction with single-digit numbers
solve problems including doubling, halving and sharing
count reliably up to 20 and place the numbers in order
recognise, create and describe patterns
Don't hesitate to talk to her teacher if you want to find out more about what your child is learning, or have any concerns.
