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.

In Maths the children have been mastering the numbers 5, 6, 7, 8 They have been embedding their knowledge of the composition of numbers using concrete resources and are becoming increasingly secure in different ways of making 5. "Look, I know that 2 and 3 makes the whole of 5." In play the cildren have also been revisiting their knowledge of 1 more.
Over the last few weeks the children have also been learning to be masters in the use of the tens frame to support their mathematical understanding, learning how to fill the tens frame '5 wise' and 'pair wise.' This has developed their understanding of odd and even numbers.
Last week we shared the rather funny text 'Double Dave' by Sue Hendra which introduced the children to the concept of 'double'- the same again. They were quick to apply this concept to their number work and found doubles all around them. "4 and 4 makes the whole of 8"
It did make Miss Valentine laugh when she said "If I wanted double the ice-cream cones, how many would I have?" and a child replied "Miss Valentine...no you know you can't have two ice-creams, you can only have one! They are a treat!"
