Welcome to Reception Class website page.

Our Lady's School is a caring family, where, with Jesus in our hearts, we value everyone and encourage them to be the best that they can be.

We will use this page to share information and celebrate what is going on in class.  We hope you enjoy using it.

Information about the class.

In the mornings, Mrs Waddington will teach the class and Mrs Burrows will teach  in the afternoons.  Miss Woods is our teaching assistant.

We are always happy to answer any questions or discuss concerns.  We value our partnerships with parents and so if you would like to get in touch please either speak to us at drop off or pick up times or call the school office.

On our PE day, which is Friday, we are asking you to come into school dressed in your P.E. kit.  We want to make full use of our outdoor space and so a coat should always be brought into school. 

Our Reading books are changed every  Friday and follow the OUP Phonetically decodable and Phonics Book Club reading scheme . At the beginning of the year children are given books with no words. This is to develop an understanding of books and to give opportunities to share other books and stories with the children. However we encourage children to bring their book-bags every day as we have lots of helpers who like to listen to children read.

We aim to create a curriculum that responds to our children's needs and interests, and so at times in the year we may move away from our set curriculum plan for the year. We aim to plan based on interests, relevant events and gaps in learning. 

Don’t forget about the many websites and games that we use in school such as;

www.cbeebies.co.uk Shows, puzzles, colouring eg Number Blocks.
