Below you will find information about both Reception classes. Please do visit our page regularly, as we will be updating this weekly with news about learning in Hazel and Cherry Class.

Our weekly and daily plan is heavily influenced by the lines of enquiry that the children are interested in pursuing.

Staff are continuously assessing the children, ensuring that every child is gaining the experience and skills that they need, to ensure successful outcomes at the end of the Foundation Stage.

A typical day in Reception will look as follows:

8.40am - Welcome, registration, weather report, wake & shake

9.00am - Phonics and exploring time

10am - Snack and a story

10.15am - Maths

10.45am - Exploring time (the children are able to explore purposefully both inside and outside, there are also some adult led activities during this time)

11.15am - Tidy up time and getting ready for lunch

11.30am - Lunchtime

12.30pm - Registration and group time (these group times cover topic focuses and a weekly session devoted to Personal, Social and Emotional Development with elements of mindfulness included)

1.00pm - Exploring time
