We have two classes in Early Years:

Mrs Carter also works in Early Years.
We use Tapestry at Richmond to share all the wonderful learning your child is doing at school. We also use Tapestry to share messages and important information. Please check this regularly so you don't miss out!
Thank you.
PE
Our PE Day is every Friday. We would like all children to come to school already dressed for PE on Fridays rather than get changed at school. Children should wear trainers/pumps, jogging bottoms or shorts, t-shirt and a school jumper or cardigan. Thank you!
Our current learning theme is: Me, My Family and My World
Community Project: Foodbank donations to local community
Characteristics of Effective Learning
Please scroll down for more information on Reading, Phonics and Number so that you can support your child at home.
Mastering Number in Early Years
We teach maths in Early Years using the Mastering Number Programme from the NCETM. This national programme - now in its fifth year - aims to secure firm foundations in the development of good number sense for all children from Reception through to Year 1 and Year 2. The aim over time is that children will leave KS1 with fluency in calculation and a confidence and flexibility with number. Attention will be given to key knowledge and understanding needed in Reception classes, and progression through KS1 to support success in the future.
