We have 13 fabulous little people in our class - our teacher is Miss Laskey and we are supported by the lovely Miss Allen (Mon) and Miss Rickett (Tues - Fri). We are all so excited for the year ahead … we hope you are too!

In Reception, our learning is practical, fun and takes place both indoors and outdoors! It can get messy … but is always full of memorable moments! Much of our learning is through play; you will find lots of little scientists, artists, historians, mathematicians and storytellers when you step through our doors! We love to investigate, imagine, create and discover in the Early Years … it’s a truly wonderful place to be. Our aim is to ignite an early love for learning, so children are excited to come to school and see what wonders await them! We pride ourselves in creating a safe, welcoming space where every child feels valued and, above all, enjoys a happy first year at Belmont!

Across the year, we will enjoy a story-based curriculum with 6 engaging topics to explore. Our topics are as follows:

• Autumn Term 1 - Happy, Healthy Me
• Autumn Term 2 - Let’s Celebrate!
• Spring Term 1 - Once Upon a Time …
• Spring Term 2 - All Creatures and Small
• Summer Term 1 - Sunshine & Flowers
• Summer Term 2 - Our Big Wide World

Each week is centred around an engaging ‘Spotlight Book’ to inspire our learning. We enjoy many wonderful learning opportunities along the way, such as a forest school trip to ‘Wild in the Woods’, a royal afternoon tea, a visit from the fire brigade and planting sunflowers… we are so excited to get started! 

If you ever have any questions or concerns, please don’t hesitate to get in touch! You can speak to me in person, or drop me an email via the link below, and I will get back to you as soon as I can.

Best wishes,

Miss Laskey ☺️
