Class 1

Reception Year

What do we get up to?

We are taught by Mrs Luddington, Ms Egan, and Mr Leach in our spacious Class 1.  We have everyday access to indoor and outdoor learning, no matter what the weather ... it is our choice which wonderful space we decide to be in to be learning. 

We are the end of the 'Foundation Stage', which may have been started at Little Eagles, a nursery or a child care setting.  Now we are at big school, we want to feel more grown up and like the rest of the school we have a termly project to give a theme to the learning provision that we have as we complete our learning journey profile.

We believe that the basic skills are the ones that we should be practising at home so that they become a habit of life.  That way, they should not be seen as a task or chore, but more so an interest or game.

So that you know the currciulum coverage each term, we write a Curriculum Newsletter to keep you up to date ...

When starting school and during the first year, it is useful to remember there are lots of different things that we need to learn as well as our letter sounds, handy high frequency words and numbers, and so on.  Also, that these happen at different times for different children ... have a look at our 'Simple Guide' to help get ready for school or at our 'Starting School Booklet'.

We do fantastic 'projects' here at Eagle ... click on our 'project cards' to see the themes we work on ...

As our 'project' curriculum is creative and often guided by the children, we match the learning in order to cover all of the key skills term by term.
