Murphy Class Reception

Welcome to Murphy Class!

Please check our class page regularly for photos and updates on your child's learning!

Our outdoor classroom is as important as our indoor classroom.

We spend lots of time outside, please ensure that through the Autumn and Winter months, your child brings a coat to school each day.

Here are our regular times

Drop off at 8.45am at Reception/KS1 entrance. .

Pick up at 3.15pm from the Playground.

Please wait behind the yellow line to make it easier for us to see you and wait for us to dismiss your child. Please be patient so we can ensure each child is dismissed safely.

If you wish to speak to us please feel free to do so once all of the children have been dismissed.

Our Class Rules

We can show we are ready for good learning by looking and listening.

We are all friends in Reception and are kind to everybody.

We are learning to use our kind hands and feet.

We share and take turns.

We always walk in the classroom.

We all tidy up and look after our resources.

How we learn in Reception.

We always plan from our children's Next Steps because you are all unique and learn in different ways. We love to link our learning through the wonderful and numerous books we read in class.

Reception & all the Nursery children had a fabulous time flying to the jungle and exploring activities and looking for all the animals. We all had so much fun in Africa. First we all had to board the Plane through Passport Control.

After a safe take off with our trusty pilot and co-pilot we had our inflight snacks and entertainment.

When we arrived in Africa we were very excited to explore and search for the animals & do some activities before we got on our flight home.

Murphy Class had a great time at New Barn Park today we all had so much fun. We enjoyed our first outting in the Minibus

We had lots of fun playing on all the play equipment. Who knew we could climb so high! We are great climbers.

We were so excited to go in the New Splash Park! There was lots and splashing and so much fun we loved it!

After all that climbing and swimming we were definitely ready for our yummy lunches. And another play before returning to school.

We had splashing time during our pool day!

Reception enjoyed our visit from Linus the Therapy Dog.

Today we all had great fun playing traditional games that the children may have played at the end of World War 2. Reception enjoyed joining nursery outside in the garden having lots of fun celebrating the 80th Anniversay of VE Day.

We are all looking forward to our Easter Bonnet Parade on Friday afternoon. Reception have made some wonderful Easter Bonnets they all look amazing.

We were all so excited that the Easter Bunny came to visit us in the Garden. The Easter Bunny hid lots of yummy eggs for us to find and enjoy.

Reception all wore Odd Socks today to celebrate Down Syndrome Day. Evie brought us all some socks so we could share with our friends. We swopped a sock with our friends so we had odd socks to wear. Reception had great fun designing our own socks that we would like to wear.

We had fun in Golden time today doing different puzzles.

We have had a lovely start to the Spring Term. We have been reading The Hungry Caterpillar story and learning about the life cycle of the caterpillar to a butterfly. It has been very exciting. We have also been learning about healthy and unhealthy foods and how to look after our teeth.

We all enjoyed coming to school for World Book Day in our pyjamas and slippers. We brought in our favourite book and teddy and listened to lots of our friends stories. We enjoyed reading stories together in the garden with the Nursery children

We had a lovely story from Miss Sepet to finish our lovely reading day.
