Reception
In Reception, we cultivate a love of learning for life. Our curriculum is planned to provide balanced and relevant experiences for each individual child. We are passionate about outdoor learning and problem solving. It is important that our children feel safe to be risk takers as they approach their learning during the day.
Our teachers encourage us to challenge ourselves once we have built confidence in newly taught skills. We are then encouraged to use these skills in our free play to extend and consolidate our learning.
Each week we have new 'Rainbow Challenges,' with activities we need to complete independently. They support our physical development, phonics, writing and mathematical development. Our progress and work is recorded in a number of ways such as in our writing books, ‘Our Learning Journey’ scrap book and ‘Seesaw’.
Early Years is extremely busy and fantastic fun. Keep up to date with us by following our blog.
The Reception team is
- R Hepworth – Mrs Wise, Mrs Summers and Miss Love
- R Van Gogh – Miss Valentine and Mrs Quinn
- R Kandinsky – Mrs Coleman, Mrs Spina and Mrs Dempsey
We are lucky to be supported by our HLTA, Miss Gill.
Our P.E day is Friday morning. May we remind you to ensure that all your child’s kit is clearly labelled.
Please make sure that you bring your library book to school each Friday to be changed.

This week we welcomed our local Police Community Support Officers Steve, Georgia and Rose into school to speak with the Reception children about their job and how it has changed over time.
They asked the children what they thought their job was and the initial response was "to catch the bad people." They explained that their main job was to help people. They sometimes 'walk the beat' speaking to people, helping them if they are lost, giving directions. They also travel by car and motorbike and can help people if their car has broken down or if they have had an accident.
Steve explained that he had been a PSCO for 18 years and has seen some changes. He talked about how you had to be a certain height to be a Police Officer years ago but now people of any height can join ther service, which is great as it is inclusive.
Georgia and Rose talked about how Police hats had changed over time, in the past all officers had to wear the tall hat, now there are different types of hats which all have the special Police emblem on. They explained that they are all hard to protect their heads.
The children were fascinated to learn about the changes in resources that that Police use. In the past officers used to have a whistle to call for 'back up' now they carry a radio which connects to the control room and ensures that all officers are linked to each other and tracked to keep them safe.
We even got to speak to the control room via the radio, which was very exciting!
Steve showed us his notebook that he used to have to record all of his conversations in, now Police Officers wear cameras which record their conversations and carry phones to type up their notes, which is a lot easier!
The children were lucky enough to have a look at the Police van and motorbike and even heard the loud sirens. They were reminded about the importance of wearing helmets whilst riding their bikes and scooters.
Thank you so much for coming to visit us, it was such a fun and informative session!
