Welcome to
Welcome to Reception Brownlee! We are a class of 30 eager children, ready to explore all that Reception has to offer. Our day is a balanced blend of adult led and child led learning. When we are not learning how to read, write and count with Mrs Lee and Mrs Jakeman, we are exploring the world around us through the extensive provision on offer.
You may find us building castles with bricks, reading with friends in the book corner, drawing in our mark making area or role playing in our home corner. You might even find us outside; filling and pouring in the water area, making potions in the mud kitchen, riding balance bikes on our track or even hanging upside down on our climbing equipment. Wherever you find us, be sure we are playing, learning and having fun all at the same time!
Welcome to Reception Class Findlay.
Welcome to Reception Findlay! Our class is taught by Mrs Hardy and supported by Mrs Goldsmith. We’re all about learning through play and creating a safe, happy space where children feel confident to explore, try new things and develop a love of learning. Our indoor and outdoor areas are carefully set up to encourage curiosity, independence, and creativity, with lots of opportunities to get hands-on and learn through real experiences.
In Reception, we focus on building strong foundations in key skills like counting, early writing, and reading. We follow a structured phonics programme to help children learn to read and write with confidence, and we support this through fun, practical activities every day. We also place a big emphasis on developing both fine and gross motor skills – from using tweezers and threading to climbing, digging, and building – all of which help prepare children for writing and other important learning. Most importantly, we aim to make every child feel valued and excited to come to school each day.
