    WELCOME TO RECEPTION!

    We are the 'Penguins Class'. Our teachers are Mrs S Scott, Mr J Stretch and Mrs T Scott. 

    We are delighted to join your children on an exciting learning journey. In Reception, every day is an adventure, filled with curiosity, discovery and fun!

    We love sharing stories and nurturing a passion for language, so we enjoy books, rhymes and poems every day. Through sharing these, we build confidence, imagination and a love of learning that will last a lifetime.

    Our learning doesn’t stay indoors — we also enjoy many opportunities to explore the outdoors, where we play, investigate and develop our understanding of the world around us.

    We enjoy learning, growing, and making wonderful memories together! 

    We would love for you to share your learning and discoveries from home too!

    Thank you,

    Spring Term 

    This Spring Term, our Reception class is full of excitement as we continue our learning journey through the wonders of the natural world. This half term our theme is 'Growing and Planting'. 

    We will be getting our hands dirty with gardening, taking care of our outdoor spaces and learning about different plants and how they grow. The children will have the opportunity to plant their very own seeds and watch them change and develop over time, building a real sense of pride and responsibility.

    One of the most special parts of our spring learning will be observing the life cycle of a duck, giving the children a first-hand experience of how living things grow and change.

    We will also enjoy discovering lots of different minibeasts, learning about where they live and why they are important to our environment. From bugs in the soil to creatures in hidden corners, there is always something new to explore.

    Spring is a wonderful time of growth, curiosity and discovery, and we can’t wait to share these experiences together!

    Please check this page regularly for updates on our learning. A weekly newsletter is sent out to keep you all updated on our adventures throughout the week! 

    KEY MESSAGES

    PE
    Our PE day is Friday. Please remember to bring your PE kit into school in a bag with your child's name on it to hang on their coat hook. At the end of each half-term, we will send your kits home to be washed.

    Our PE uniform is a white t-shirt, black or blue jogging bottoms / leggings, socks, trainers and your school jumper or hoodie. 

    Outdoor Play
    Please make sure you bring a coat and a pair of wellies to school as the weather does change during the day and your child will be outside in ALL weathers! It is recommended to bring a change of clothes to leave in school, so that children can change if they need to. 

    Home Reading
    Books will be sent home with each child in their red book bags. These red book bags will be supplied by school. Please remember to read your home reading book at least three times a week and make sure your reading record is signed by a grown-up each time you have read. It is important that you read at home regularly to practise the skills that you have learnt in school. These home reading books will be changed ONCE a week when your child has practised reading at home.
