Welcome to Shine Class

Welcome to Reception - Shine Class. We have 26 children in Shine Class this year. I, Miss Ashworth, am Reception Class Teacher and work as a team with our teaching assistants, Miss Rawlinson, Miss Beeson and Miss Bebb. We all share the same goal - to guide, to support, to learn, to laugh and to ensure that memories are made.

In Reception Class, children will be learning through the Early Years Foundations Stage (EYFS) Curriculum. Children will acquire new skills and knowledge and demonstrate their understanding through 7 areas of learning and development.

• Communication and language
• Physical development
• Personal, social and emotional development
• Literacy
• Mathematics
• Understanding the world
• Expressive arts and design

These 7 areas are used to plan your child’s learning and activities. We make sure that the activities are suited to your child’s unique needs and extend their learning.

Children will learn by playing and exploring, being active, and through creative and critical thinking which takes place both indoors and outside. 

Your child's well-being is of vital importance to us and we want to ensure that your child is happy and progressing. If you ever have any queries, questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to speak to us on the door in the morning or contact us via staff email:
