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.

Children In Need – Reception class style
Date: 01/12/2019
Reception children kindly donated money to for Children in Need. We placed our pennies on the big Pudsey Bear and enjoyed following the live duck race. We all chose a duck to follow and well done to Jack and Miss Ironside as their duck ‘Beakwell Tart’ came in first!
Balance Bikes
Date: 29/11/2019
Reception have been having lots of fun learning to ride the balance bikes. They have been learning about safety and practising controlling their speed, gliding and steering the bikes. They are doing a fantastic job.
Library Visit
Date: 29/11/2019
Some of our Reception children had a wonderful afternoon visiting the local library. We listened to a storyteller and talked about different stories we enjoy and then carefully created artwork linked to the story of ‘The Tunnel.’ We are excited as we will be visiting the library again soon in a couple of weeks.
