Reception
In Reception you will find Mrs Dykes; the class teacher, and Miss Procter our HLTA, but most importantly, if you look really carefully, you will also find the 30 wonderful children who make up our fantastic class. In Reception we follow the Early Years Foundation Stage curriculum, learning through play. We have lots of lovely resources in our newly refurbished classroom and outdoor area so we are always busy playing and learning together.
Our topics this year are:
Autumn 1 - All About Me
Autumn 2 - Bears, Christmas
Spring 1 - Let's Pretend, Changes
Spring 2 - Houses & Homes
Summer 1 - Living Things
