Reception

Welcome to Reception

In Reception we are always very busy! We have so much fun learning in all of our classroom areas and outside too. We have weekly forest school and PE which are two of our favourite activities! Because our learning is outdoors, we always need to have suitable clothing for all weathers to make sure that we are as warm and dry as possible.  

In Reception, magic breakfast starts at 8:10 until 8:30. We love coming into school to have breakfast before our other friends arrive at 8:30. We all go home at 3:00.

Mr Bell is our class teacher along with our teaching assistants Miss Rodham and Mr Chirnside as well as Shelley on an afternoon, who are always on hand to help with anything. We can be contacted at the bottom of this page via email or through calling the office and leaving a message. You will also find lots of information on our page to help us learn at home and let our grown ups know what we have been busy doing too. 

We want to show you how much fun we have in Reception and how fantastic we are at learning so please take a look at the photos below-keeping popping back too because we are always updating our page. 

See you soon!

Mr Bell, Miss Rodham and Mr Chirnside
