In our Reception Class, our day consists of both child-initiated and adult-led learning. All of our learning comes from our children and their interests and this ensures our children are excited and motivated to learn. Through careful questioning and observations, our staff ensure children are challenged and develop a love of school and of learning.

Hedgehog Class enjoys learning outside and taking part in weekly Forest School sessions. We also enjoy activities such as funky fingers, cooking and singing. Early reading, writing and maths skills are a large part of our learning and this is taught in a fun and practical way.

Parents play a huge part in their child’s learning and school life. We hold weekly ‘Open Door’ sessions to enable parents to come into school and see their child’s learning. This is also a wonderful time to speak with our Reception team. We also use Tapestry as a means of communicating with parents and recording observations within each child’s profile.

We look forward to welcoming you into Hedgehogs Class!
