Welcome to the Spring Term! This term our topic is 'Amazing Adventures'. We will be using the story 'The Gruffalo' by Julia Donaldson. We shall also be exploring other books by Julia Donaldson over the coming weeks. 

Although your child's learning will be completed at home, we will be here to support you each week. Please access the Home learning which can be found above. This will run parallel to the lessons being taught in school to the children of key workers and vulnerable children. When you click the Home Learning section (above), it will take you to the resources and information for the week. There will also be videos to support your child with their learning. 

The home learning timetable is a suggested timetable for the day and week. We suggest you follow it as best you can. However, remember you can only do your best and we know home schooling is difficult. We have tried to make the activities a mixture of tasks to do together with your child and things they can have a go at on their own.

As always if you have any questions about your child's learning please email the class teacher using the class email address in the contact us section or at the bottom of the page. We will also be aiming to contact you via telephone each week to talk about your child's progress and engagement with the home learning. Also, we are in school teaching so we will answer emails and contact you around day to to day teaching. Each teacher will be working in different ways, so you may be contacted at different times, ways or times.

We hope you are staying safe and well in these uncertain times. Hopefully, we will see you all soon!

The EYFS team

Welcome to the Reception Page!

The Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS), covers the first years of your child's development, from birth to the end of their first year in school. The emphasis is on learning through play, in a safe and secure environment.

We have four classes in Reception: Ladybirds, Dragonflies, Bumblebees and Butterflies. The teachers work together to plan and offer interesting and fun activities for the children, following the Early Years Foundation Stage Curriculum and the 'Development Matters' document. Every child is given the support and opportunity to learn and develop at their own pace.

Reception children are very much a part of our school community. They take part in school assemblies, concerts and fun days. Through the curriculum they learn to work together, share ideas, equipment and to build good relationships with other children and adults.
