Welcome to the Reception class web page. Here you can find further information about life in reception class. If you have any questions or queries please contact me.
Each term, the children have a Big Question, which all their learning centres around, and they will explore and answer. The Big Questions are based upon Catholic Social Teaching. The Big Question for the Spring term is Who helps us on our journey?
Children learn through carefully planned play, based upon their current interests as well as the Big Question. They experience a range of child led, child initiated, adult initiated and adult led activities throughout the day.
RE
Our Virtues for this term are: Curius and Active and Intentional and Prophetic.
The children will continue to learn about God and Jesus following the Birmingham Diocesan Curriculum "Learning and Growing as the People of God". Our units of work for the Spring term are: Christmas, People who help us, Lent and Holy Week. The children will also be learning about one of school patron saints, St Werburgh as it will be her feast day on 3rd February. We shall be learning about two of our team saints: St David, whose feast day is celebrated on 1st March and St Patrick on 17th March.
The children also will listen to a variety of Bible stories, learning about key people in the Bible and why they were important and relevant to us today, linking with our Big Question.
Reception have their own class prayer:
Let us thank you O Lord,
For this wonderful day.
Help us as we learn and play,
Help us to be kind to all
And catch us when we fall.
Teach us to love and pray
As we move through the day.
Amen
The children also learn a variety of prayers through our prayer of the month. Our prayer of the month for January is Glory Be:
Glory be to the Father,
and to the Son,
and to the Holy Spirit,
as it was in the beginning,
is now, and ever shall be,
world without end.
Amen.
All the prayers the children will be learning in class can be found at the top of the page.
