Welcome to Reception! Our Reception classes are Murphy Class with Mrs Marshall and Mrs Wathen and Donaldson Class with Mrs Gardener.
We are excited to begin the school year with our first topic, Marvellous Me! This term the children will be learning all about themselves and what makes them unique. They will explore their families, friends, interests, and how to keep their bodies healthy and strong. Through stories, art, and hands on activities, the children will celebrate their individuality while building new friendships and a strong sense of community in their classrooms.
Each week we explore a new text, these are all linked to our topic of 'Marvellous me'.
PE Days and Forest School
Donaldson PE day is Tuesday.
Murphy PE day is Thursday.
Please can children come to school on PE days dressed in suitable PE clothes e.g. black leggings black jogging bottoms and a plain white t-shirt.
This term, we will be focusing on ball skills.
Please send your child a pair of wellington boots to wear during our Forest School sessions.
