What are we learning about? Overviews for parents

Welcome to Reception Class! 

In Reception our class teacher is Miss. Gregory. Mrs. Rigby and Miss. Naylor are our learning assistants.

We like to play and learn at the same time, so our classroom never lacks fun and excitement!

We do PE on Wednesdays with Mrs. Vose, and Mrs. Hurst teaches us RE on a Thursday morning.

Children will take part in daily phonics lessons (LittleWandle), Literacy lessons, Reading practice sessions, Maths and our favourite time of day… Story Time!

We also enjoy our other topics that include developing skills in History, Art, Computing, Science and Geography. 

Some Important information.

Letters to Santa 

As part of the Royal Mail letters to Santa scheme the children have written their Christmas list’s as part of our Literacy this week. They went to the postbox this morning to post them. We found footprints from the cheeky elves, who had been playing in the post box, and were waiting to deliver the letters to Father Christmas. 

Christmas Party Day🎅🏼🎄
