Sheep Class
Welcome to our Reception/Year 1 class
We are called Sheep class, after the parable of the Lost Sheep, and every child matters to us, just as every sheep mattered to Jesus. But don’t let our name fool you..we may start off in Reception as lambs, but through our first two years at school we learn to be independent, inquisitive and imaginative young learners! We have a lovely classroom, filled with quality resources and inspiring activities to get stuck into, plus a brand new domestic role-play room (complete with kitchen, lounge and bedroom areas!). We are also very lucky to have a huge, wooded outdoor area where children can get cooking in our mud-kitchen, get building in our large construction area, or simply curl up and listen to our teacher, Mrs Gkikopoulos, read us a great book in our cosy reading shack. There really is something for every kind of sheep in our class!

This week we wanted to show this through Art and ‘sprinkled’ all things we would like to … Read more

Fabulous frog!
This morning, we found a frog in our outdoor area. We discussed if it was a frog or a toad and how we know the difference. We researched what they needed to survive and made it a little home! We wrote signs and captions to let others know what we had found. We were really … Read more
