“Play is the highest form of research” – Albert Einstein

In Reception, our teacher is Mr Hutton and our teaching assistant is Mrs Pidgeon. We have had so much fun settling into our new class and discovering all of our amazing talents and strengths!

We have been following all of the children’s interests and discovering their own unique fascinations. We have already had an amazing investigation station the children have been using to explore their interests, alongside our whole school themes.

Theme News

• This half term our whole school theme is ‘A Moment In Time’.
• We are spending time settling our new children into their new classroom. We will be allowing the children to spend time with each other and the staff members so we can all get to know one another.
• We will be assessing which adult each child has the biggest connection with, this adult will then become the child’s key worker.
• We will be finding out what the children’s biggest interests are and incorporating this into the classroom.
• We will be sending out a date for our ‘Welcome Fest’ as this half terms stay and play session.
