Reception

Welcome to Reception Class! Our teachers are Mrs. Dale and Mr. de Vletter, with additional support from Mrs. Holland and Mrs. Hawkins.

We are delighted to welcome our new Reception class into our school and look forward to seeing them settle in, make new friendships and connections, and begin to flourish in the first steps of their school journey.

This term we are learning about our wonderful, unique selves through our 'Marvellous Me' topic, exploring what makes us who we are and our special individuality in the eyes of God.

This half term we will be developing an understanding of celebrations throughout the world and celebrating each other’s differences is a key aim for this learning experience. The children will learn about the different celebrations that might happen during the year, Diwali, Bonfire Night, Christmas, and Birthdays, and how we celebrate them at home and how other people might celebrate them differently.

Our learning journey will also be about celebrating ourselves. We will reflect back on our topic last term when we spent time talking about our similarities and differences and how this makes us unique. Remembering Rosa Parks and how it is important to treat each other fairly.

During the lead up to Christmas, our learning will look at the traditions of Christmas and the Christmas nativity. We will learn about the celebration and even work in our elves’ workshop, helping to wrap presents and make Christmas decorations to put up around the classroom. The children will work together to create a Christmas performance and learn multiple songs, practising the lyrics and keeping in time with the music and performing to their families.
