LOVE TO LEARN, TOGETHER WITH THE LORD.
"Show me your ways, LORD, teach me your paths." Psalm 25:4
Welcome to our Reception Class Page
Our class team comprises of Mrs Warburton and Mrs Edwards. We are excited to welcome your children into our class and nurture their ideas and enthusiasm for learning.
Our Reception curriculum keeps us busy and active everyday both inside the classroom and in our outdoor area. We encourage our children to share their interests both in and out of school and use their ideas as foundations for creative learning opportunities.
BOOK CHANGE will take place on a Monday and we are moving to online books. Your child will have their own log in which will enable you to access their book. We will be sending home a reading record for you to write what your child has read and any comments or questions you may have.
P.E. is on a Thursday, please come into school in your P.E. kit on this day.
Early Years
Please find below information for you to help understand the aims of the early years curriculum, how children learn throughout their early years and what you can do to support them.
Seesaw
