Welcome to Reception Class at Isleham C of E Primary School!
We are thrilled to welcome your child to our Reception Class, where their exciting journey of learning and discovery begins. Our dedicated team is here to ensure that every child feels supported, engaged, and inspired as they take their first steps in school.
Meet Our Team:
- Miss Stanley is the Reception Class Teacher.
- Mrs. Dray and Mrs. Norbury are our wonderful Teaching Assistants.
- Mrs. Grove will be covering PPA (Planning, Preparation, and Assessment) time, bringing her own experience and creativity to the classroom to ensure continuity in learning.
We look forward to welcoming all our new Reception children on their first day of school, Friday, 6th September. It's going to be a day filled with excitement, new friendships, and plenty of fun as we embark on this learning adventure together.
Our First Topic: "Marvellous Me"
Our first topic in Reception Class is called "Marvellous Me," and it’s all about celebrating what makes each child unique and special. This engaging and personal theme is designed to help children build confidence, develop self-awareness, and begin forming positive relationships with their classmates and the adults working with them around school.
During this topic, the children will:
- Explore Their Identity: We’ll talk about names, families, likes and dislikes, and what makes each of us who we are. Through activities like self-portraits and "Chatterbags", children will have the opportunity to express themselves creatively.
- Celebrate Diversity: As part of our focus on inclusivity, we’ll explore the different cultures, traditions, and backgrounds that make our classroom community so vibrant and diverse.
- Build Friendships: Through group activities and play, children will start to form friendships and learn the importance of kindness, cooperation, and empathy.
"Marvellous Me" also lays the foundation for a strong sense of self and community, which are essential for successful learning and growth.
We’re excited to see each child shine as we discover what makes them marvellous!
