This is the first year of our learning journey. During our first year of school we learn through playing and exploring, engaging in active learning and becoming creative and critical thinkers. We are encouraged to become independent learners and think of our own ideas, particularly when solving problems. We like to participate in a range of new activities, making links between our learning and we are proud of our achievements. Together, we are becoming respectful, positive, collaborative, responsible and determined learners that you do not give up, even when we find things tricky.

You will find our class newsletters which will provide you with an overview of our learning each term.

Our teacher is Mrs Salter and our TAs are Mrs McCluskey and Miss McConnell

Term 1 – A wonderful start to Reception

Oliver Jeffers class have had a fantastic start to their reception journey. It has been wonderful to see the children settle into school life, make new friends and grow in confidence as they explore their new surroundings.

We have been very busy learning through play and discovery, both indoors and outdoors. The children have particularly enjoyed exploring our different learning areas and developing their independence as they become familiar with their new routines.

Stories have been a big part of our learning this term. In Drawing Club, we have enjoyed exploring The Tiger Who came to Tea and The Colour Monster. These wonderful stories have inspired lots of imaginative ideas, introduced us to new vocabulary and provided opportunities for the children to talk, draw and share their ideas.

It has been lovely to watch the children learn, laugh, explore and make memories together during their first term!
