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.

Abington Park visit

On Thursday the children in Reception all went on a journey to Abington Park. During our walk we listened to all the sounds we heard on the way. The children heard different bird song, cars, the beep of the crossing, duck, the water whooshing under the metal grate and the leaves rustling in the wind. 


We went and visited the horse chestnut tree and the children noticed that the tree looked very different to when they vistited it in the Autumn. The children looked closely at the blossom and the leaves on the tree. 

Back in the classroom, the children recreated their journey by recounting the sounds they heard. Together we made a soundscape of our walk. 

This week the children will continue to observe the signs of spring and natural objects we collected from the park.
