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.

Autumn 1 Curriculum
This term, we are focusing on ‘All About Me’, where the children will learn and explore what it means to belong, recognise their own family and friendship groups, understand different types of homes, and use their senses to learn all about Autumn.
Please send or email a picture of your child and their family to school, as we would love to create a wall of photos for the children to look at and share with their friends.
Autumn 2 Curriculum
During this term we will be focusing on 'people who help us' as well as looking at different celebrations. During the first few weeks of term, the children will experience how two different cultures celebrate with light whilst we focus on bonfire night and Diwali. later on in the term we will of course be learning about the different traditions surrounding Christmas celebrations.
We will also be learning about the different people in our community that help us, focusing on emergency services and other people in the community that help, we will also take the opportunity to explore how we can help others and what jobs they might like to explore when they are older.
In RE this term we are focusing on what is the difference between the 'sacred' and 'special' we will be applying this understanding whilst exploring the nativity story and hindu celebrations.
