Reception Class 2026 - 2027

Welcome to Reception!

On this class page you will be able to access information about reception/EYFS and what we will be learning. 

Our wonderful carpet area!                        We have lots of resources to help us build in reception! Everything is labelled for us to access ourselves. The school works closely with all our families and there are lots of opportunities for our family to visit us at school. This might be to talk about their job or to be our secret reader! Our reading area is always changing with books that follow our unique interests and props to act out the stories. We love reading in reception! The children get to practise gliding on the balance bikes ready for riding with pedals! Our balance bike club has been an amazing success! We always have access to our home area!   We are lucky to have two outdoor area in reception. We have a smaller outdoor area, alongside our larger area. We have so much space to explore and follow our own interests!                          We love the outdoors in reception! We love growing vegetables, fruit and plants in our garden and use the herbs in our mud kitchen.  Mud faces in our forest school area. We like getting messy and exploring our amazing school grounds! We have great fun finding mini-beasts and carefully observing them. Making lemonade in our role play. The activities change to follow our unique interests.  We go on many school trips, with Ness Gardens being one of our favourites! We learn how to understand and manage our feelings. There is lots of opportunities to observe the seasons. We have so many loose parts to build and create with.

Teaching Organisation

Context for Learning

This term our topic is 'Marvellous Me' where we will be getting to know each other and our families! We will learn what makes us unique and how to follow the rules and expectations of the setting. We will settle into our new classroom, meet new friends, explore the environment with growing independence and begin our phonics lessons. In reception we understand how powerful play is to help us to learn! We follow the children's interests, so you never know what unique interests will help us to learn this term!
