Welcome to Bluebell Class!

A little bit about our Reception Class

Our class teachers are Mrs Speed (Monday - Thursday) and Mrs Sheppard (Friday).

Mrs Rose works with us sometimes to support our learning too.

When we start school in September, we spend time getting to know each other, our school and new routines. Our teachers spend quality time doing this so that we feel safe, secure and ready to learn.

In our class, we love books and base most of our learning around them. We use both our indoor and outdoor spaces for exploratory learning and enjoy a variety of activities. In April 2025, we had our outdoor space revamped. We love learning and exploring in this space.

Our teachers lead some activities, including daily phonics, writing and maths with all of us together or in small groups. We also lead some of these activities, following our own interests. We have so much fun! Take a look below to see what we have been up to and our current learning. 

Term 1 2026

Following in the footsteps of the rest of the school, our first text of the year was a beautiful book called ‘Here We Are’. We talked about what we could see in the illustrations and around our new classroom. We created a poster about how we can look after each other in Bluebell. We added drawings of our favourite thing to do in Bluebell, so far. We also created our own starry sky pictures using printing techniques.

We have been singing nursery rhymes up to 5 and showing us super counting skills in different ways. The children enjoyed meeting and playing with their new Year 6 buddies, eating their very first school dinner and exploring the classroom.
