Reception
In Reception we aim to offer inspiring and creative opportunities for learning that stem from the interests of our children. Our informal observations and assessment of individual children in play lead to many mini topics or exploratory activities that are enjoyed by everyone. Children are also encouraged to share their ideas for topics through discussion as the year progresses. Often we will have a topic that lasts several weeks, but sometimes the children's interests help take the learning in a new direction that leads us to several shorter topics in a term. Each week in Reception, homework sheets are sent home with a little summary of the weekly happenings and upcoming events specific to Reception children. More details of the Reception topics and teaching can be found on the Early Years page by clicking here.
