A little bit about our Reception Class

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. Our teachers lead some activities, including 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 2025

Following in the footsteps of the rest of the school, our first text of the year is a beautiful book called ‘Peace on Earth’. We have talked about what we could see in the gorgeous illustrations, as well as what brings us peace. We each came up with an oral sentence to create our own class poem, ‘Peace on Earth is…’.

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