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 the school office.
Each half term, the children have a Big Question, which all their learning centres around, and which they will explore and answer. The Big Questions are based upon Catholic Social Teaching. The Big Question for this half term is: Who care's for God's Garden?
The Big Questions also link to five recurring themes based upon the children's natural curiosity. These five recurring themes are:
All about me
The Changing World
The Natural World
Colours all around us
Let's Celebrate
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.

The children will be learning about God and Jesus following the Birmingham Diocesan Curriculum Learning and Growing as the People of God. The children also will listen to a variety of Bible stories, learning about the 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 June is Our Father:
Our Father, who art in Heaven,
Hallowed be thy name.
Thy Kingdom come, thy will be done on earth,
As it is in Heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread,
And forgive us our trespasses
As we forgive those who trespass against us,
And lead us not into temptation,
But deliver us from evil.
Amen.
