RECEPTION
Miss R Innes and Mrs. S BrogdenWelcome to the wonderful world of Reception!
Our teachers are Miss Innes and Mrs. Brogden and our Teaching Assistant is Miss Tingle.
We aim to inspire, in every child, a love of learning and enable them to achieve their goals, aspirations, and dreams, by encouraging independence, confidence, and creativity.
We believe that young children learn and develop best in enabling environments, in which their experiences respond to their individual needs, both in the classroom environment and in the great outdoors.
We hope you enjoy looking around our class blog, which is a window into our world and the wonderful things we get up to, please feel free to add any photos or comments you have too!

Basketball

Designing mats and algorithms
In Computing, we have enjoyed designing and creating mats for the Beebots and then planning and testing out algorithms. We identified the starting and finishing points of the route we wanted the Beebots to take and we were able to fix errors by debugging when necessary.
Friendship Song
In Music this half term, we have focused our learning on ‘Friendship Song’ by Joanna Mangona and Pete Readman. We enjoyed finding the beat and moving to the music before finding the notes B, G, A and E and playing them on the glockenspiels in time with the music.
