Welcome to ST MARY CLASS PAGE

A very warm welcome to Reception. We are are so excited to begin this special year together, as you and your children join our school community. This is such an important milestone, and we feel privileged to share it with you. 

In Reception, learning is full of discovery, creativity and joy. Our days are carefully planned to nurture children's curiosity, build confidence and encourage independence. The EYFS curriculum is play-based and focuses on developing the whole child through seven areas or learning:

Communication and language

Physical Development

Personal, Social and Emotional Development 

Literacy 

Mathematics

Understanding the World

Expressive Arts and Design 

We are blessed to have St Mary as our class saint. St Mary inspires us with her faith, love and care for others. We will reflect on her example throughout the year as we grow together in our school community. 

 

We look forward to a wonderful year filled with learning, laughter and new beginnings. Together, we will support your child's journey so they can flourish, feel happy and secure, and be proud of all they achieve. 

 Warmest wishes,

The Reception Team

Other Helpful Hints

In Reception, we encourage independence. It is great if your little one is able to put on their coat independently and can recognise their own name.
