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.
Colour Mixing

The children have been busy artists in the Reception atelier over the last couple of weeks as they have been exploring colour mixing. Starting with the primary colours of red, blue and yellow they used food colouring and filter paper to explore what secondary colours they could make when they mixed red and blue, red and yellow and blue and yellow. The fascination on their faces was brilliant as they watched the colours merging and transforming in front of their eyes. They were amazed to see that these three colours could be used to make purple, orange and green! It was wonderful to see the children using this new learning to mix their own colours at the art easel and we look forward to seeing how the children continue to use this knowledge in their continuous provision learning over the coming weeks.
