Welcome to Pine Class!

We are so excited that you are joining us at little Hallingbury School and we have a busy and exciting first term ahead of us.

Firstly, we will be focusing on settling in to school.  We will be learning all about school life, having lots of fun and getting used to our new environment and making new friends too.

Next, we have lots of exciting activities planned for our first term.  Our topic is 'All about me' and 'Traditional Tales'.

We are a Reception class. 

Mrs Nicholson will be teaching full time until the end of the Autumn term and after it will be Mrs Nicholson (Wed,Thurs,Fri) and Mrs Hickman (Mon, Tues). Our primary teaching assistants are  Mrs Warwick and Mrs Sullivan and Miss Peer. 

In Reception we learn how to play together, take turns and share fairly.  We also learn how to look after each other and all the lovely things in our classroom. Our teachers helps us to develop early literacy, communicative and mathematical skills as well as having opportunities to develop creative and physical skills and develop an understanding of the world around us.  

We are very lucky to have our own garden so that we can play and learn outside, as well as using the rest of the school grounds. We also have an adventure playground, a stage in the outdoor classroom and a large field to play on. 

We have PE every Thursday .  Please wear your PE clothes on this day. 

Please see the attached one page curriculum overview, to see some of our wonderful activities we have planned.  You can find a more detailed curriculum overview under the rainbow heading 'EYFS curriculum documents'.

We are looking forward to a fun and educational year.
