Class 1 (Reception/Year 1)
Miss Newton is the class teacher. She teaches a class that includes all the children in their first year of schooling as well as some of the Year 1 children. A young child's day in Miss Newton's class is made up of many different elements: talking and listening, reading and writing activities, stories and poetry, art and craft, developing mathematical and scientific skills and knowledge, religious education, P.E. and music. These are usually organised around a particular theme ( "Ourselves" or "Our School", for example), and these topics usually last about a term and incorporate all aspects of the curriculum. The security offered by the firm yet happy setting of Miss Newton's class enables the child's educational foundations to be established.
Here are some photographs of our fabulous outdoor learning environment. We have lots of requests from other teachers and headteachers to visit this model of excellent practice. There are many exciting and creative learning experiences for all the children to enjoy.
