WELCOME TO OUR RECEPTION CLASS
Welcome to our Reception class, where we work together to create a safe, fun and inspiring learning environment for the children's first year of school. We value the importance of play and create plentiful playful opportunities for children to learn, both indoors and outdoors and with plenty of messy play!
We work closely with families to make sure every child feels happy, safe and supported. Together, we celebrate each child's achievements and help them take those important first steps on their learning journey.
This page will give you some key information about our class and show you some of the amazing learning that takes place. You will also find useful information and links to help support your child at home.

Summer 2 Curriculum
This term we are focusing on ‘At the seaside’. We will be identifying key features of the seaside as well as exploring the differences and similarities between the seaside in the past and present. We will also be exploring what the seaside might look like in different parts of the world. We are looking forward to investigating different properties of materials and how this might affect if objects float or sink and how we can make our own floating items.
Every Thursday afternoon the children will be having dedicated music lessons with myself, where the children will be exploring different musical instruments and how to make sounds with them to a beat.
For our RE Topic this term, we will be looking at things that are sacred and specila. In particular we will be linking this to places and exploring what makes Hindu and Christian places sacred.

School Trip - Lincoln Zoo
Look at some of the wonderful learning opportunities we have had in our first term.
Tractors in school
What a wonderful morning the children had when the tractors came into school! They learnt about why we have tractors and how we harvest wheat. They then explored what happens to the wheat and what foods we find it in.
World Book Day
We loved seeing the world book day constumes this year and the children really enjoyed peer reading with our Year 4 children!
