Welcome to our Reception Class Webpage! 

Reception is a magical time for children where they learn vast amounts in short spaces of time - you won't believe the transformation in your child's skills and knowledge by Christmas never mind the end of the year! 

This page will be used to share with you our achievements, celebrations, important messages and information about what we have been learning in school and how you can help us at home.

Favourite Five

Each half term in Reception we will be introducing children to our 'Favourite Five' stories. We will read these five stories lots of times throughout the half term (alongside lots of others as well) so that the children become really familiar with the language and pattern of the story. By reading these 5 stories regularly, children are exposed to lots of new vocabulary. Our 'Grandma Fantastic' collects all of the new vocabulary that we have learnt from each story. We revisit this new vocabulary frequently to support children to absorb the language and explore it in a wider context. You can find the stories for each half term in the sections below.
