Reception Class
Welcome to our small and exciting Reception class.
This year we are a class of fourteen children!
In Reception the children have lots of fun learning through play, they have plenty of child initiated opportunities as well as adult lead focused activities and whole class teaching. The children are taught phonics through the Read Write Inc phonics scheme and maths every morning. Like the rest of the school Reception are taught through dramatic-inquiry based learning, Mantle of the Expert. Some of our past Mantle’s include, running a restaurant, running an animal rescue centre, deep sea divers, park keepers, party planners, town planners, story problem solvers and running a dinosaur museum.
In addition the children have physical education lessons; this may be gymnastics, dance, ball skills or games. During outdoor learning the learn about their environment by making, creating, observing and exploring.
