Reception

Welcome to Reception

Class Teachers: Miss Tomlinson and Miss Ball

Teaching Assistants: Miss Gilhoooley and Miss Stanley

In Reception, the children continue to follow the ‘Early Years Foundation Stage’ (EYFS) Curriculum. This curriculum sets the standards for learning, development and care of children from birth to 5 years old. During their time in Reception we build upon the experiences the children will have gained at home, in nursery or any other child care settings.

Our days are busy, fun and engaging, children are exposed to a play based curriculum which provides rich learning activities, both inside the classroom and outdoors. Throughout the day there is a mix of child initiated activities and adult led activities. By offering a range of diverse and open ended experiences children will make progress in the following areas:

Prime Areas of Learning:

• Communication and Language
• Personal, Social and Emotional Development
• Physical Development

Specific Areas of Learning:

• Literacy
• Mathematics
• Understanding of the World
• Expressive Arts and Design

Within EYFS we also pay close attention to the Characteristics of Effective Learning. These are important life skills and attitudes that we instil in all our children.

Characteristics of Effective Learning:

• Playing and Exploring
• Active Learning
• Creating and Thinking Critically
