Our reception class is called Bears of North America.

Our teacher is Miss Martlew

Our teaching assistant is Miss Illes

We are very lucky to be joined by our class bears Bonnie and Barnaby. They like to spend their week learning with the children and joining in with all the fun things they do. At the weekend they like to go home with a different child each week.

In Reception, we learn through lots of different topics that usually last two to three weeks. See the newsletter and topic overview link below to find out about our current topic.
