The Reception year is a very exciting time for both parents and children. During this year, we will all work together to ensure that your child progresses through a fun, stimulating and active experience as they reach their full potential in all aspects of the curriculum. We hope that your child enjoys the new challenges and approaches in Reception to start their Ashleigh journey.
Learning in Reception
We believe that every child is unique, who constantly learns through positive relationships, a stimulating environment and rich learning experiences. Therefore, we provide a balance of child-initiated and adult-led activities by fostering and valuing each child's curiosity, which encourages engagement and active learning. We take pride in our indoor and outdoor classrooms by providing a range of practical experiences for example; role play, construction play, sand and water, den building and physical play. Alongside this, we provide regular phonics, literacy, maths and reading sessions. We also arrange out of school trips, once a term, so children can access and experience real life situations, for example; to celebrate the Chinese New Year, experiencing a visit to a Chinese Restaurant.
