Welcome to Reception

Meet your teachers!

Mrs Selby

I love all areas of the curriculum, however if I had to choose it would be maths  and PE.  The story I love to read to my class is ‘The Gruffalo’ by Julia Donaldson.  I have 2 children so most of my spare time is spent playing with them. We love going to  the forest and the beach. 

 Mrs Osborn

My favourite area in the classroom is block play.  I love using my imagination to create imaginary worlds.  My favourite book to read to the class is ‘Giraffes can’t dance’.  My hobbies include Yoga, riding my bike and gardening.  I also like to take my dog, Poppy out for countryside walks.                                    

 Mrs Doyle

I love to Role Play.  We have lots of different role play areas throughout the year in reception.   My favourite story to read to children is ‘Stickman’ we even have a stickman tree outside one of our classrooms!  My favourite hobby is bird watching.  I enjoy teaching children about nature and I run a bird watching club at school!

       Mrs Wilkes

 My favourite area in the classroom is definitely the book corner.  I love to read  stories.  It  is really hard to choose my favourite story but if I had to choose it would be  ‘Room on the Broom’.  In my spare time I enjoy singing in a choir, staying fit at the gym  and taking my dog for long walks.

Tapestry

We will be using Tapestry to assess and monitor your Child’s progress.  It is a computer based programme that records your Child’s development.  Staff use iPads to input the observations.  You will be able to add to this from September if you have not already started in Nursery.
