We’ve created a beautiful nurturing, warm, engaging environment where children feel safe, valued, and excited to learn. Every day is filled with discovery, creativity, and joyful moments. We believe that every child is unique and special and we pride ourselves in allowing them to flourish and shine embracing all aspects of their learning journey. Here’s to a fabulous year of awe and wonder. Class Teacher: Mrs. Davies Class TAs: Mrs. Davis & Mrs. Devine ## A big welcome to our new Reception class. Pupils have had a fantastic first week of school playing with their friends and enjoying their new classroom. We also had a lovely visit from our Year 5 buddies. WELCOME TO OUR WONDERFUL EYFS Our Reception classroom offers a vibrant and nurturing environment where children feel safe, inspired, and ready to learn. Indoors, the space is thoughtfully arranged to encourage curiosity and independence, with engaging learning areas that support early literacy, numeracy, creativity, and play. Outdoors, children enjoy a rich and stimulating setting that promotes exploration and physical development, from imaginative play zones to nature-inspired activities. Together, these environments create a joyful and inclusive atmosphere where every child can thrive. ### Maths work ### Our brilliant maths work sorting and grouping objects. ### Our Amazing art gallery - All creatures great and small. ### Learning in Action ### Music and Movement sessions ### The Great Outdoors ### Blackpool Zoo Trip ### Butterflies and Caterpillars ### Shape pictures ### Number bonds and number work ### Vegetable flower printing ### Mini City Role play experience ### Our adorable 3D clay dinosaurs ### Dinosaur themed learning ### Super sentences ### Science Week ### Safety Week ### Pendle class learnt how to keep themselves safe outside and around the home.
