There are 2 classes in Reception, Class RFP and Class RSB. Mrs French and Miss Page teach in RFP and Mrs Brooks in RSB. We also have wonderful teaching assistants who work with the children each day. Mrs Gregan, Miss Richardson, Mrs Hitchen and Miss McGuffie. 

We are so pleased to share some information with you about our wonderful children and their time spent in Reception.

Here is a celebration of some of the wonderful things that have taken place so far this school year as the EYFS children have been playing, exploring and learning.

In the Autumn term, we covered our topic 'All about me'. This allowed us to explore our school area and grounds and discover our skills and talents within the classroom! Our children accessed our continuous provision accessing a wide range of activities. 

Some of our highlights were: 

* painting self portraits and also beginning our drawing ourselves (which we then repeat each half term),

* using our senses to explore and discover Autumn and discussing the items we all found on our Autumn walk,

* accessing our outdoor area and wonderful school grounds for exploring and learning opportunities. 

* celebrating two festivals: Diwali and Christmas and also performing our Christmas nativity to our parents.

Spring Term 

As we moved into the New Year, we linked our Topic to Science and Space and Understanding of the World. The children loved exploring with magnets and finding items that were magnetic. The children painted planets, wrote some facts about them and also 'weighed' them in maths! At the end of the month, we studied Chinese New Year and ate some yummy Chinese food and performed a Dragon Dance! 

Some of our highlights were: 

* becoming Scientists and exploring electrical circuits,

* making and eating Chinese fortune cookies.

We are now looking forward to welcoming our "Living Eggs" to allow us to learn about chicks and 'New Life'. We might even get to watch them hatch and hold them! 

P.E Days

Both Reception classes have P.E on Tuesdays and Thursdays. They also have the opportunity to engage in outdoor activities everyday.
