EYFS Reception

 

 

Welcome to our Early Years Foundation Stage Reception Class

  Miss Wakefield - Reception Class Teacher

BSc(Hons) Childhood and youth & Early years Education Studies, Level 3 Diploma in Children's Learning and Development (Early Years Educator), PGCE Primary with Early Years Specialism

Hello! My name is Miss Wakefield and I am delighted to be teaching Reception at Willaston Primary Academy. I am passionate about creating a happy, nurturing and exciting classroom where children feel confident to explore, learn and be themselves. I love using stories, creativity and hands-on experiences to bring learning to life.

I am also Forest School trained and love giving children opportunities to learn and explore outdoors. I feel very lucky to be part of the children’s first year at school and love watching their confidence, independence and love of learning grow throughout the year.

We are looking forward to supporting your child through their first year at school. Within our Reception class we have a balance of children learning through play and then more formal lessons towards the end of the reception year, so they are ready for the Year 1 curriculum.

EYFS Curriculum

We deliver our curriculum through the 7 areas of learning;

Prime areas

  • Expressive arts and design.

  • Personal, social and emotional development;

Tapestry- Online learning journey

Here at Willaston, Tapestry is one of the methods we use to record your child’s reception learning journey, as well as their Maths and English work books. Your child has been set up with their own account which we will upload photo’s and videos of your children’s learning. You will also be able to upload photographs of any special events and wow moments that occur outside of school with your child.  In Tapestry you will be able to comment on the observations made at school but unfortunately we are unable to reply to them. Tapestry will also provide you with next steps for your child so you can see how you can support their learning at home.

If you are having issues logging onto Tapestry please speak to a member of the team.
