Reception – Brown Bears
Welcome to the Brown Bears Reception class page!
The staff in the Brown Bear’s class are Mrs Maughan (Teacher), Mrs Vinson (Early Years Practitioner) and Miss Lawson (Teaching Assistant).
The 4 and 5 year old children in our class follow the Early Years Foundation Stage curriculum 2021 and learn through a mix of child initiated play activities as well as adult directed tasks and small group times.
We have such a busy time in Reception! Here are just some of the things the children learn to do:
– Read and write
– Develop a deep understanding of numbers to 10 including counting, subitising and recalling number bonds
– Work co-operatively with others
– Explore creative media
– Develop their imagination and language skills
The themes we follow throughout the year are based on the children’s interests. They include:
- Who do you think you are?
- How do you celebrate?
- Do all traditional tales live happily ever after?
- Where do mini beasts live?
Where do mini beasts live?
We are very lucky to have two ‘In Harmony’ music sessions a week, taught by specialist music teachers from the Glasshouse.
We have a fantastic outdoor area, which we use in all weathers thanks to our wellies and waterproof clothing.
As you can see, we work hard, learn lots in the Brown Bears class, and of course have great fun along the way!
