Welcome to EYFS, where we love to learn through play, explorating and investigation!

Our Teacher is Miss Rafique

Miss Barlow and Mrs Gore also support us with our learning.

 

“But those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary; they will walk and not be faint.”  Isaiah 40:31

 

We are the Butterflies at St Mary Magdalene’s RC Primary School. Reception is an exciting time where our children are nurtured and encouraged to become independent and enthused about learning and the world around us. Building and developing parent relations are at the heart of what we do. As parents, you are your child’s first and most important educator and so during the year, we will work together to ensure your child develops a love for learning and grows to secure strong foundations in their learning journey. In our class setting, we provide a nurtured and engaging environment for the children to flourish in. Faith is intertwined in all that we do, and we celebrate our challenges, differences and talents each day. We encourage our Butterflies to understand they are all individually unique and loved in class and  by our school family. Our wonderful indoor and outdoor classroom is set up around the National Curriculum and the children’s interests as we get to know our children and provide interesting and inspiring learning experiences. During this Summer Term we will be exploring Traditional Tales in Literacy, in Number, we will continue to count, recognise and write numbers to 10 and beyond. We will explore Shape, More and Less, Numberbonds and Doubling. In RE we will learn all about Pentecost.
