Reception

Welcome to Reception!

In Reception we provide a stimulating and exciting environment where the children have access to both indoors and outdoors every day. To ensure our environment is engaging, we plan our topics from your child’s interests and through daily assessment we incorporate what your child needs to achieve their individual next steps.

We work and play very hard every day, with a mixture of whole class, small group, 1-1 and individual activities which can be adult or child led. We always have lots of fun and we do like to get messy at times! Our PE session is on a Friday afternoon.

We encourage the children in Reception to read every night and we change reading books once a week. The children also have ‘Tricky Words’ to practise in their reading diaries.

We have an open door policy at the beginning and end of the day so that our parents can call in for a chat if they need to.  We also send out observations of each child every half term so our parents can see what we have been up to!

In Reception we aim to create lasting memories and help our children develop a real love for learning.
