Welcome to Reception
About Us
My name is Mrs Lewis and I am the Reception class teacher. Throughout the children’s time in Reception they will experience a rich balance of both focussed learning and meaningful play.
The children’s wellbeing and happiness is always at the heart of everything we do. Our days are filled with fun and laughter, both in the classroom and outdoors. We love nothing more than seeing the children grow and learn throughout the year.























Class Information
Our learning environment consists of the classroom area, the rainbow room, the outdoor area and our beautiful woods. We have many places throughout the day where our learning and exploring takes place…not forgetting the kitchen. We do love to cook up a storm in Reception!
Pupil Voice is an important feature in the Reception classroom. Pupils are actively involved in planning their own learning activities and making choices about how and what they would like to learn.
A popular feature of the Reception classroom is Mission Time, where the children have the opportunity to access the enhanced and continuous provision independently.
We are very lucky in Reception to be supported by three talented and caring Learning Support Officers, Mrs Benbow, Mrs Blake and Mrs Pettey.
Our Learning Tools
Read Write Inc is used to teach pupils phonics and reading in school and the Read Write Inc reading scheme is used to support reading at home.
Pupils are introduced to Bug Club during the Spring term of Reception.
Big Maths is used daily throughout the school.
Children are encouraged to use Seesaw to upload independent pieces of work whilst on Mission Time.
