Welcome to Class R, where we love to learn through play! We enjoy making friends and having fun inside and outside of the classroom. We have a lovely outdoor area which extends our learning and play on a bigger, louder and more active scale. 

In Class R we gain a broad range of knowledge and skills – we are always curious to find out more and enthusiastic to have a go at new things. We are encouraged to try our best and understand that it is ok to make mistakes.

During the school day we are involved in activities and experiences which are based on the EYFS areas of learning and development: Personal, Social and Emotional Development; Communication and Language Development; Physical Development; Literacy (reading and writing); Mathematics (number, shapes, spaces and measure); Understanding the World; Expressive Arts and Design.

Our PE slot this academic year is Wednesday pm. The children need to come to school wearing their PE kit on this day. 

On Friday mornings we will have our weekly Forest School sessions; these will happen whatever the weather so please bring children to school dressed in appropriate clothing for the season.

The topics for this term are: Me and my community, Harvest, Autumn, Long ago and Sparkle and Shine.
