Reception Classes
Welcome to Reception Class! At St Hilda's we have created an Early Years environment and progressive curriculum that encourages all children to learn as they play and explore. Our engaging and carefully planned continous provision allows children to be enthused, excited and to build on and extend their prior knowledge. We love to follow the children's lead and support their personal interests. Keep an eye on our 'Gallery Page' to watch our learning journey throughout the year and to see us create the foundations of our education!

Always check your child’s book bags for letters, class work or certificates.
Please bring wellies into school and a waterproof coat (with names on) for outdoor learning.
Please ensure you are regularly checking Tapestry to see your child’s photographs and homework and remember to leave a comment on your child’s observations.
Home Learning
Each Friday your child will now be sent home with two pieces of homework, one literacy based and one mathematics based. This homework is to be completed over the weekend and to be returned on the following Monday. Reading books are to be shared and read daily with your child.
