Pre-School

Welcome to Spring Term in Reception

We are now in our second term in Reception and are excited for another fun-filled term of exploration, learning and development.

We strive to provide a unique, challenging and inspirational curriculum based on new and memorable experiences. We will also continue to establish strong relationships with our children, but also with you – their families.

Throughout the year, we will work with your child to learn and understand their individual needs and support them in their learning and development.

As always, our aim is for your children to become happy and confident learners and to carry their love of learning throughout their life.

Spring Bookshelf

Our Spring Bookshelf is filled with high quality, engaging texts which will inspire our learning across the curriculum.

The books this term will help to spark our imagination and curiosity. We will use them to encourage the growth of new skills such as resilience.
