Welcome to Reception

Welcome to Reception at Red Hill

In the Early Years at Red Hill we believe that every child deserves the best possible start in life by teaching them skills and providing memorable experiences. We strive to create happy, confident and well-rounded individuals with a love of learning and to create success in the future. Adults provide high quality interactions and together with parents provide the foundation for children to make the most of their abilities and fulfil their potential.

We would like to warmly welcome your child into Reception and are very much looking forward to watching them develop into independent learners as they start their journey through Red Hill Primary School.

At Red Hill we have three reception classes:-

RB - Mrs Balaj, Mrs Galloway & Mrs Budden

RM- Mrs Doyley-Mitson, Mrs O'Shea and Ms Young

RS - Miss Shepherd & Mrs O'Neill

Our Learning

In reception our topic this half term is Once upon a time, the children will experience making pancakes, tasting ginger and creating gingerbread men. They will be learning all  about traditional tales and retelling the stories.  

 

Independent Learning Opportunities

Teachers set up the classrooms with a range of exciting and engaging activities that are practical and multi-sensory. Activities are linked to the half termly topic or the key text for the week. Children have a wide range of resources in the classrooms that they can access freely to support their independent learning activities. Activities are set up to provide children with opportunities to practise their speaking and listening skills and encourage them to practise reading and writing throughout the day.
