Reception - EYFS
Welcome to Reception!
Miss Sellars, Mrs Morris and Miss Mansfield are all busy in Teams, providing online learning and support for our youngest VIPs (Very Important Pupils). Please log in here every day so your child can say hello to their teacher and the teachers can also say 'Hi' and see how the children are doing.
Read Write Inc and Kinetic Letters
We currently use RWI to teach children letter formation. For useful information on how we use RWI and Kinetic Letters in school, and help on how you can support your child at home with this, please see our For Everyone section in the menu on the right.
