Welcome to China class! We are the Reception class. Mrs. Robertson is our teacher and Mrs. Thari, Mrs. Reeder and Mrs. Wright are our teaching assistants.
In Reception, you'll find us busy learning through play every day. We balance whole-class teaching, individual and small group work with lots of planned and free play activities. Watching, playing with and talking to the children about what they're doing and enjoying, helps us plan to grow their learning. We use the online learning journal 'Tapestry' to work with parents too.
Do look at our blog to find out more about what fun we've been having whilst we are learning!
If you can't see what you're looking for here, you'll find information for new starters on the 'Noticeboard' tab and our curriculum map under 'Information'.
Please see below for our knowledge organisers for each half-term in Reception and the long-term overview of our curriculum.
