WELCOME TO OUR RECEPTION CLASS
Class Teacher: Miss Clark
Class Teaching Assistant: Miss Fisk
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.

Spring 1 Curriculum
During this term we will be focusing on 'traditional tales' as well as looking at the seasonal changes during winter. During the first week of term we will explore how we celebrated new year, which will then lead onto comparison to Chinese new year as we learn about this tradition later on in the term. This is a fantastic unit of learning for development in writing, now the children have learnt all their Phase 2 sounds we will really be focusing on developming their writing skills.
In RE this term we are focusing on the celebrations of 'Easter' and 'Holi' and understanding why we celebrate and how the two different religions celebrate these occasions.
