Reception

 

 Welcome to Reception!  We have two Reception classes called Rowan and Maple Class.

                         Rowan tree facts and mythology | Trees for Life

                             

The Class Teachers are:

Rowan Class

Ms Budgen is the class teacher

Maple Class

Mrs Wright and Mrs Mansfield are the class teachers

We have a full time Teaching Assistant, Mrs Flack and a part time Teaching Assistant Mrs Mayes.

Our school day runs between 8.45am and 3.15pm. Lunch is between 12.00 and 1.00pm.

A typical day in Reception involves two morning and two afternoon whole class carpet sessions and throughout the rest of the day children free flow between the classrooms and outdoor area. We use the Little Wandle Phonics Scheme of work to teach reading and we follow a Mastery approach for Maths. 

P.E. day is Friday. Children come to school on Fridays wearing P.E. kit, including trainers which do not have laces.  Earrings must not be worn for P.E. 

 

 In the Early Years we follow 6 thematic units of work across the year. Our curriculum is broad and balanced, skills based, progressive and knowledge-rich and vocabulary driven. It enables our children to develop as happy, motivated, effective learners and independent thinkers. it lays the foundations for future learning so that all children can be school ready. Our themes are as follows: 

Knowing Me, Knowing You - Autumn 1 

 


 

Starry, Starry Night - 

Autumn 2 

 

 

 

Treasures of the Earth - 

Spring 1

 

 

 

Look at That! -

Spring 2

Summer 1

 

 

 

Building Bridges and Stepping Stones - Summer 2
