Welcome to our Reception class page! We are so excited to begin this wonderful year of learning, discovering and growing together.
Reception is a very special year where children develop confidence, independence and a love of learning through a balance of adult-led activities and child-initiated play. We provide a warm and nurturing environment where every child feels safe, valued and encouraged to achieve their very best.
We look forward to working closely with families throughout the year to support each child on their learning journey.
Learning in Reception
In Reception, learning is based on the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) curriculum, which focuses on developing through play, interactions, exploring and meaningful experiences.
The areas of learning include:
- Communication and Language
- Personal, Social and Emotional Development
- Physical Development
- Literacy
- Mathematics
- Understanding the World
- Expressive Arts and Design
Our learning is carefully planned to build key skills while following children’s interests and encouraging curiosity, creativity and independence. You can see snippets of this on our school blog and also attached below are our half term curriculum overviews.
Our Classroom Environment
Our Reception classroom is a busy, exciting and engaging space where children can explore, investigate and learn through play.
We make use of both indoor and outdoor learning areas to support all aspects of development. Children take part in activities such as construction, role play, creative arts, small world play, mark making, maths exploration and sensory learning.
PE
No need for a PE kit as we have our active uniform. Our PE slots are currently on a Wednesday and Thursday.
Communication with Parents
We value strong partnerships with parents and carers.
Important updates, reminders and learning information will be shared through our school communication systems, evidence me and our class email. If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to get in touch.
Working together helps us provide the very best support for your child.
