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 Kandinsky Class and Van Gogh Class enjoyed their outdoor learning days in the schools forest school areas. We were very lucky with the weather as the rain held off. The children loved getting wrapped up in their outdoor clothes and wellington boots.
When we arrived at the forest we played a group game of 123 where are you and Mrs Squirrel, were the children had too try to sneak up behind Mrs Squirrel and steal her acorns. The children were very good and proved hard to catch out!
The children were then free to explore the forest area and engage in the activities. Autumal leaves were collected and tyres rolled. Some children used the binoculars to look for birds and learnt how to name some such as Greenfinch, Sparrow and Robin. The children enjoyed making rainbow sticks and some even weaved poppies for Remembrance Day. There was natural artwork created using conkers inspired by the work of artist James Brunt and clay faces were made on the tree bark. Great fun was had as we attempted to build a den for the Gruffalo and delicious food was made in the mud kitchen! We even had a visit from a couple of ladybirds!
In our afternoon session the children learnt how to light a fire and essential fire safety rules. We all sat around the fire pit and sang some rather funny campfire songs with great enthusiasm after enjoyed toasting giant marshmallows and drinking warming hot chocolate and warm blackcurrant. A super time was had by all and we cannot wait until our next forest school session!
