Welcome to Reception and Year 1!

Our class is taught by Miss Miller, and every day is an exciting opportunity to explore, create, and learn together. We focus on building strong foundations in reading, writing, and maths, while also encouraging curiosity, independence, and confidence. Through play, discovery, and hands-on experiences, we learn about the world around us and celebrate every achievement, big or small.

Most importantly, we are growing together, guided by love. As a caring classroom community, we live out our school values of community, compassion, and courage. We support and respect one another, show kindness in all we do, and are brave in trying new challenges. Together, we create a happy, welcoming environment where every child can thrive and feel proud of their achievements.

This page is a place where you’ll find key information about our class as well as regular updates that demonstrate our love of learning. We hope it gives you a window into the exciting adventures we share every day in Reception and Year 1.
