Welcome to Reception class

At Parklands we believe that every child has a right to a high-quality education. We give high
priority to supporting the development of communication and language as well as early
literacy and maths skills. We offer a broad, balanced, integrated curriculum
using Development Matters in the Early Years Foundation Stage as a guide.

Our wonderful team of staff:

Mrs Cain – Class Teacher

Mrs Barnsley- PPA Cover Teacher

Miss Peel- Teaching Assistant

Mrs Moore – Teaching Assistant

We are a very energetic and enthusiastic class who love to create and make wonderful
masterpieces. We follow the phonics scheme Read Write Inc and have daily phonics and
maths sessions. We deliver maths through a mastery approach giving all children the
opportunity to learn and deepen their understanding together without rushing forward. We
have recently purchased a maths scheme called Power Maths and the children are enjoying
these sessions and workbooks.

The interests of your children are really important to us and we try to provide exciting learning
experiences around these interests, as well as take part in both new and familiar
celebrations throughout the academic year.
