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!

Sorting animals into groups
We learned about the different groups that animals are part of, and we practised sorting them into their different groupings using our toy animals. We practised using the vocabulary of mammals, amphibians, fish, reptiles and birds.
Henri Rousseau
We have enjoyed learning about Henri Rousseau, imitating his work then recreating our own. We created colour wheels, identifying warm and cool colours and used a view point to help us choose a setting for our final piece. There was a lot of variety within the class -...
Active English!
To help cement our understanding of subordinate clauses, we went active! We made giant sentences, chopped up some 'normal sized' sentences and also decorated the yard with our own examples too.
