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!

Making Roman Numerals
Last week, Year 5 looked at Roman Numerals. We investigated when they were used, where we might see them as well as how we can read them ourselves. After creating useful guides on how to read Roman Numerals we went down to the hall to play a game of ‘Roman Numeral Charades!’. This game involved the children in groups creating Roman Numerals using actions, the other children then had to guess what number they had created. We really enjoyed this practical maths lesson and it helped us create up to 5 digit numbers in Roman Numerals!
What material is most suitable?
