Aspire - Nurture - Grow

Welcome to Rainbows 2024-25

We are the Reception class at Warren Hills Community Primary School.

Our class teacher is Mrs Woolley. Mrs Cooper and Miss Flamson are the teaching assistants in our class.  

We Love Reading

In our class, we know how important reading is to help us learn and we follow a reading scheme in our school called Read, Write, Inc. We each have a home reading folder to bring our books home in every day and a yellow reading record. We enjoy reading at home and know how important it is to practise with our parents/carers regularly to help us become successful readers.

A note from the teacher: Please ensure that your child brings their home reading folder back to school every day and remember to encourage them to spend some time reading either to an adult or independently each day.

Starry Night

This project explores the differences in the world at night compared to during the day. It teaches children about the importance of a good night’s sleep, and helps them to discover what is happening in the world while they are sleeping, including finding out about nocturnal animals.

Autumn Term 1 2024-25

Exploring Autumn

In the Exploring Autumn project, your child will go on a woodland walk to learn about the seasonal changes that happen in autumn. They will learn about birds and animals that live in the woods and how they survive as the weather gets colder. They will take part in practical and creative activities that will support them to learn about autumn.

Supporting your child at home

• Go on a walk around your local area and talk about what happens to trees and plants during autumn. Take some pictures to share at school.
• Collect leaves, seeds, nuts and berries to add to an autumn collection.
• Make some bird food to feed the birds as the weather gets colder.
