Mrs Perry is the teacher in this busy but friendly Reception class. Mrs Greenwood covers PPA on a Friday afternoon.
Discovery Time:
During Discovery Time we like to learn through play and follow our children's interests, which can lead us into a lot of exciting learning opportunities as they take us in various directions. We are very busy in Discovery Time learning with our friends and having fun. We love den building, making obstacle courses, exploring the mud kitchen, playing on the bikes, role play and our new woodwork station.
Welly Walks and Nature Area:
We like to make the most of our lovely setting here at St Martin's. We take regular Welly Walks up the lane opposite the school and find many things of interest to develop our understanding of the world there. We also use the Nature Area on a regular basis to enhance our learning.
Cooking:
We are very lucky to have great facilities at our school and we love to cook in Acorn room and make lots of delicious treats during the year e.g. Cherry buns, biscuits, Gingerbread Men.
Trips:
We bring our topics to life by going on lots of regular trips with the class. The children really enjoy these opportunities and learn a great deal from them. The farm and castle trip are particular favourites of theirs!
Gilbert:
Gilbert the Goose is our class Learning Superhero. He goes home with a Cherry on a Friday for lots of fun and adventures. He looks out for children who use our school learning skills e.g. concentration, teamwork, perseverance, resourcefulness, curiosity and reflection.
Topics:
We introduce the children to a range of topics throughout the year e.g. Bears and Rhymes, Celebrations, Pirates and Mermaids, Castles and Dragons, The World Around Us and From the Sea to the Sky.
