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 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 term is: Who am I?
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 October, the Month of the Holy Rosary is the Hail Mary:
Hail Mary, full of grace,
the Lord is with thee:
blessed art thou among women,
and blessed is the fruit of thy womb Jesus.
Holy Mary, Mother of God
Pray for us sinners,
now and at the hour of our death.
Amen
All the prayers the children will be learning in class can be found at the top of the page.
