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!
Our Class Blog
Up, up and away!

Weather Ready!
Today we refreshed our knowledge on weather symbols and used them to dress Winnie the Pooh appropriately for all kinds of weather. We discussed items we may need for different kinds of weather, for example the importance of a sun hat and sun cream on a hot, sunny day!
Drawing Animals
Today we have been learning skills which enable us to sketch realistic animals. We focussed on proportion to ensure the features of our animals were accurately scaled. We also used our previously learned shading skills to add depth to our pieces.
New Book Alert!
This week, we have been spending time discussing the background of our new class text, Pegasus. Looking at the front cover, we think that Pegasus is a mythical creature. This links back to our History topic from last term,...

Feast your eyes on 4B's entries for the Easter Egg Competition! Which is your favourite? I think they're all egg-cellent.
