Welcome to our Class 1 page.

We have a brand new bespoke Foundations Unit that has been built to meet the development needs of all our Foundation Stage children.  The Reception children share the Foundations Unit with our FS1 children. 

We have 16 places available in our FS2 classes.                                     

School times: 8.30am – 3.15pm

Registration  closes at 8.45am.

The breakfast and after-school provision is available for FS2 children. Breakfast Club operates 7.50am - 8.30am at a cost of £3 per day, which includes cereal, bagels and a drink. This service needs to be booked at the school office. After-school clubs for FS2 to Year 6 are provided by teaching staff and can also be requested at the school office. 

Class 1 (Foxes) – Reception class is taught by Miss Agatowska. 

It’s wonderful to see all the happy faces each morning, and to witness the amazing changes the children have made since September.

Each morning, we deliver phonics and literacy lessons. In the afternoons, we cover Maths, as well as explore exciting topics about the wider world through play and hands-on discovery. We read stories and sing songs regularly and take time to talk with the children to learn about their likes and dislikes – this helps us plan activities that suit their interests.

Children will take home a phonics book each week that matches their phonics ability.  This book is changed weekly by the class teacher and adapted to meet their growing skills.We ask parents to encourage their child to read their phonics book at home at least three times a week, recording each session in their reading record, and to practice any sounds the children are sent home.

Summer 2

Get ready… our FINAL half term in Reception is here, and it’s going to be full of sunshine, smiles and so much excitement! ☀️✨

We have a very special few weeks ahead, packed with adventures, laughter and lots of learning through play. The children will be busy exploring space, discovering stars, rockets and astronauts, and letting their imaginations blast off into the universe 🚀🌟

Back on Earth, we’ll also be stepping into the past to meet some amazing dinosaurs – roaring, stomping and learning all about these fascinating creatures! 🦖

As the weather gets warmer, we’ll be making the most of it with outdoor learning, active games and lots of fun events, including our exciting Colour Run and Sports Day.

This is also a very special time as we begin preparing the children for their next big adventure – moving up to Year 1. We’ll be gently building their confidence, independence and readiness for the year ahead.

In Literacy, we will be enjoying the story Simon Sock, thinking all about pairs and friendships. We’ll be talking about what makes a good friend, how we can be kind to each other, and why it’s important to have someone to play and share with. 🧦💛

It’s set to be a happy, busy and memorable end to Reception, filled with fun, friendship and lots of magical moments!

If you have any questions at all, please don’t hesitate to come and speak to me.
