Welcome to Reception Class!

A Warm Welcome

A warm welcome to all our new reception children and parents/carers. We are looking forward to getting to know your children and working with you over the coming year.

We know that moving from Nursery to school can be a big step in your child's learning journey, but please let us know if there is anything we can help you with. We are available at the start or end of each day.

In the classroom this year we have:

Mrs Shearman (Class Teacher)
Mrs Johnson (EYP)
Mrs Dixon (Teaching Assistant)
Mrs Campbell (Teaching Assistant)

There are lots of new friends to meet and new and exciting learning opportunities.

PCSO VISIT (SPRING TERM 2)

Our local PCSO came to visit. They had heard we were looking for a snow thief after reading our latest story book. The police officers showed us the uniform you need to be a police officer and how to be a good detective. The children were excited to start making their own police resources after the visit.

LIBRARY VISIT (SPRING TERM 1)

We always enjoy visiting our local library for story time. Each half term the class walks to Blackpool Central Library and we have a story read to us by the librarian.

VALENTINE'S BISCUITS (SPRING TERM 1)

The Valentine biscuits will be shared with the whole class. Baking provides the opportunity to extend the children's language, mathematical understanding, physical development and knowledge of the world in which we live. There were lots of new words including weighing scales, stir, pour, mix, scoop, bake and knead. The biscuits were delicious and very well received by all their friends!

SAINSBURY'S VISIT (SPRING TERM 1)

Another group of children went to Sainsbury's to buy the ingredients for making Valentine biscuits. This allows the children to develop many skills because the experience incorporates all aspects of the Early Years curriculum.

STANLEY PARK - WINTER WALK (SPRING TERM 1)

We went to Stanley Park to look for signs of winter. We spotted bare branches, people wearing winter clothes and even noticed a sign that spring is on the way! After our walk we warmed up with a hot chocolate before returning to school.

A VERY SPECIAL VISITOR IN RECEPTION - A HEDGEHOG! (NOVEMBER 2024)

As part of our 'Darkness' topic this half-term we invited a very special visitor into school. A lovely hedgehog visited the classroom and we found out lots of interesting facts about hedgehogs and how they are nocturnal animals.
