 Below you will find information about our Reception class. Please do visit our page regularly, as we will be updating this weekly with news about learning in class.  

Our weekly and daily plan is heavily influenced by the lines of enquiry that the children are interested in pursuing. 

Staff are continuously assessing the children, ensuring that every child is gaining the experience and skills that they need, to ensure successful outcomes at the end of the Foundation Stage.

 8.40am -   Welcome, registration, weather report, wake & shake
