Reception 2023 - 2024

A Taste of Daily Life in the Reception Classes

Teachers Mrs Scott, Miss Sharp TAs Miss McLean Mrs Keenan

Our morning starts  when the children come in to be registered. We then split into groups for our phonics lessons. After milk and toast we return to the carpet for our literacy input. This is followed by a range of learning opportunities within our indoor and outdoor provision and focussed activities. Examples of these activities include: mark making and writing, number games, shape and colour, sand and water games, play dough, painting, model making, computers, small world play, construction, mud kitchen, gardening.

A prayer is said before we have lunch in the classroom and then the children are supervised by the welfare staff as they enjoy exploring the outdoor environment.

In the afternoon, we have a register, followed by a short carpet session before working in small groups developing specific skills, for example, numbers. Healthy snacks are available during the afternoon session. Group and individual reading takes place throughout the day. The children enjoy a short story before a prayer and home time.
