Reception
Welcome to Reception!
We have two classes - The Brown Bears and the Hungry Caterpillars
The Brown Bears Class Teacher is Miss White. Miss White is also our Early Years Lead.
The Hungry Caterpillars Class Teacher is Miss Hulme.
Throughout the week we have some wonderful teaching assistants working with us:
Miss Valente, Mrs Pownall and Miss Friesener.
Remote Learning
As we are now in a national lock down, your child will be able to access their remote learning here.
There are links to useful resources and games that can be clicked to enable children to access their learning at home on the "Useful Resources, Websites and Links for EYFS" section of our website.
The suggested timings on these documents are for guidance only.
We would like to remind you that the nature of a typical school day in reception would be 15-20 minute lessons in-between “busy bee learning time” during which the children will learn through play.
Therefore we would suggest that you complete tasks on this sheet throughout the day and then allow the children time to play, go for a walk, get some exercise etc before doing another activity.

PE - in school and during lockdown
Reception have PE on Thursdays.
For children in school during lockdown it is Monday and Thursday
On these days we ask that children come to school in their PE clothes rather than their school uniform.
Weather dependant they can wear their shorts and school coloured PE T- shirt and House PE sweatshirt. If the weather is cold, then track suit bottoms/leggings would be more suitable. Trainers are preferable to pumps as it is possible the children may be outdoors for some lessons.

Dont forget you can join in with PE lessons with bodycoach Joe Wicks every Monday, Wednesday and Friday during lockdown -
