Welcome

Reception Class is part of the Foundation Stage.

We are a very happy class. We are looked after by Mrs Harris and Mrs Maguire. We are very lucky as Mrs Maguire look after us at lunchtime too.

We share our Foundation Stage classroom and all its wonderful resources with our friends in Nursery.

We start school at 8.40 and come into the classroom ourselves. We need our bookbags each day as all our important letters get placed inside. Could parents make sure they check and empty our bookbags of letters and pictures everyday please.

We finish at 3pm and Mrs Whitfield or Mrs Maguire send us to our parents who wait outside until we get to the cloakroom.

We love it when we see our Year 6 Buddies on a Friday afternoon.

Anything else you need to know – please come in and ask.

Each term our Year 5 children upload information collated from each class as part of one of our Extended school Clubs.  All information below is written by the children for parents and interested parties to gain a deeper insight into what fun and interesting activities each class are partaking in each term.
