Robin Class
Welcome to Robin Class!
Our teachers are Mrs Gillon (Mon & Tues) and Mrs Jones (Wed-Fri). We have lots of other grown-ups in our class helping us too including, Mrs Vranch, Mrs Singer, Miss Carpenter and Mrs K.
Robin class is made up of year reception and year ones. We enjoy a play-based curriculum, we have lots of discovery time which offers us a chance to explore our interests and learn and develop key skills for all areas of our learning.
Mrs Gillon and Mrs Jones use our class page as a blog of our learning, this will include regular updates of the activities we're doing to help us learn and explore, so please keep an eye out!
Learning:
In year reception the children follow the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) curriculum. The EYFS outlines seven areas of learning and development. There are three prime areas of learning, which are particularly important for your child's development and future learning. Then there are four specific areas of learning, through which the prime areas are built upon. There are seventeen Early Learning Goals (ELGs) children are working to achieve by the end of their time in year reception.
In year one the children follow the national curriculum. The national curriculum outlines goals for specific subjects which the children are working towards. The year one children in Robin Class have lots of opportunities to join up with their other year one peers in Blackbird class to learn, for example with maths, phonics, swimming and some other curricular activities.
All the pupils in our class have regular opportunities to learn through play, exploring resources to develop their understanding and knowledge of key concepts.
Another busy week of learning...
We've had another busy week in Robin HQ, we've really enjoyed continuing to explore our classroom resources and have gotten to know the routines too!
Rosie's walk adventure...
Our focus text this term is Rosie's walk. We enjoyed our first 'hook' lesson. Rosie had left us some instructions to find something rather special... we went on our own walk adventure following her instructions and found our class story! We all enjoyed talking about the cover and noticed lots of patterns!
Fantastic First Day!
We have loved welcoming back our current Year 1 children and our new reception children on their very first day of school. Discovery time has been spent exploring the indoor and outdoor environment, playing in the construction corner, potion making, mark making and learning classroom routines.
