Welcome to Reception Class 

Our Vision for our Children in EYFS is in line with our school vision;

We believe every child is amazing and everyone deserves an excellent start to their learning journey. Everything in our nurturing environment sparks enjoyment, curiosity, awe, and wonder encouraging a lifelong love of learning through play, discovery, and meaningful experiences.

Welcome to Reception!

We are so pleased to welcome you to our Reception page. Our page will be updated half-termly so you can keep up to date with all the exciting learning and adventures happening in our class.

Reception is such a wonderful year – full of curiosity, creativity and new discoveries. If you ever have any questions, please don’t hesitate to speak to us. We are always on the gate at the beginning and end of the day and are happy to help.

This half term, our topic is All About Me. We will explore this theme through the delightful books The Colour Monster and Elmer, thinking about families, emotions, and celebrating that everyone is unique and wonderful. In maths, we will focus on numbers to 3, alongside sorting and exploring patterns.

A few reminders to help the half term run smoothly:

• A weekly newsletter will be shared, letting you know what we have been up to and highlighting any important dates.

• PE is on Wednesdays – children should come to school dressed in their PE kit.

• Forest School will take place weekly; more details will follow soon.

• Please name all belongings – we cannot easily return items if they are unnamed.

• Children go outside in all weathers, so a coat is essential.

• Book bags and water bottles should come to school daily.

We are very excited about the year ahead and look forward to working closely with you all to make your child’s Reception journey a happy and memorable one.
