A warm welcome to Conker Class!
This year, our class is made up of 25 enthusiastic, curious and playful children. Conker Class is taught by Mrs O’Brien and Mrs Clements (Thursdays), with support from Mrs Butt, Miss Cox and Miss Powney.
Reception is a very special and exciting year as children begin their journey at Trinity. We provide a calm, nurturing and stimulating environment where every child is valued, supported and encouraged to become a confident and independent learner.
Through play, exploration and carefully planned experiences, children develop their skills across all areas of the Early Years Foundation Stage. Our indoor and outdoor environments offer opportunities to investigate, create, imagine, problem-solve and develop friendships.
We believe that children learn best when they are happy, engaged and curious. We encourage them to develop confidence, celebrating their achievements and supporting them to have a go at new challenges.
We also value strong partnerships with parents and carers. By working together, we can ensure that every child feels happy, safe, valued and ready to learn.
We are incredibly proud to watch our children grow and develop throughout their Reception year and look forward to sharing their many achievements with you!
Things to Remember:
We encourage children to practise reading at least four times each week at home and to record these sessions in their reading logs. Each week, children will bring home two decodable phonics books alongside their phonics home learning.
Children will also choose a weekly sharing book to enjoy together with their parents or carers.
PE sessions take place every Monday. Please ensure that PE kits remain at school and include clothing suitable for both indoor and outdoor activities. Full uniform requirements can be found on our website. PE kits will be sent home at the end of each term for washing.
Please send a pair of wellies and waterproof clothing to school to remain here throughout the academic year. These will be used when needed for outdoor learning and play.
We always love celebrating your child’s achievements and learning moments from home! Please share these with us via Seesaw so we can celebrate them together.
