Welcome to Reception!

There are 2 classes in Reception- Orange and Yellow Class. The children spend some time in their own classrooms but also have access to the other classroom and our outdoor area throughout the school day where they are supported in their learning by our Reception Team.

The Reception classrooms open at 8:35 for the children to enter their classroom and the doors shut at 8:45 ready for register. The school day finishes at 3:15. The children are to be dropped off and collected from their classroom door.

Term 1 2025-26

We're Going on a Bear Hunt

This term our focus story is We're Going on a Bear Hunt. We will be enjoying listening to, acting out and re-telling the story as well as creating our own versions too.

Linked to the story we will also be exploring/ creating maps and our looking at our local area. We will also be looking at journeys and different ways people have travelled from the past to present. As part of this, we will also be making our own transport during our D&T sessions.

As we settle into our new classes we are learning all about our school rule to 'be kind' as well as exploring how we are all different and all special through the Jigsaw PSED unit of Being Me.
