Welcome to Chestnut our Reception Class.

Where we have fun exploring and learning through play.

We hope you enjoyed the Easter break and are ready for the summer term.  Above you will find pages that provide specific information about our class.

Our classroom is part of the main school and we share a wonderful outdoor learning area with Saplings Class (Pre-school). At Kensworth we are very fortunate to have extensive grounds and we take full advantage of this by learning in the great outdoors as much as possible.

Our PE days are Mondays and Tuesdays and children should come into school dressed in their PE kit on both those days.  Earrings must not be worn for PE, so should be taken out and left at home and long hair should be put up or tied back.  

Please check that all your child's belongings are named including their water bottle and lunch box.

Our two Theme units this term are:

'Sunshine and Sunflowers' - this seasonal project provides opportunities for outdoor learning and teaches children how to care for the plants and animals in their local environment and how to stay safe in the sun.

'Animal Safari' - this project teaches children about the animals that live around the world, how to look after them and the importance of caring for our local and global environments.

We are happy to answer any questions or concerns you may have, catch us on the gate in the morning or send us a private message via Class Dojo.
