Welcome to Reception

 

The Ladybirds and Honey Bees have settled beautifully at school over the past couple of weeks. They have made lots of new friends and have adapted fantastically to the new school routines. We are so proud of them! 

 

 

We have two classes in Reception, Ladybirds and Honey Bees.  Miss Mellor teaches Ladybird class and Miss Dowling teaches Honey Bee class 

 

We have three wonderful Teaching Assistants supporting us with our learning in Reception: Mrs Sparrow, Mrs Mobbs and Mrs Kemp. 

 

Our PE days this year will be Mondays and Wednesdays.  Please send children into school in clothes suitable for PE on those days.
