Welcome to Elm Class!

Welcome to Elm Class! This is where all our wonderful learning and exciting reception year begins. 

Elm Class is a Reception cohort with 15 children and we sometimes have some Year 1 friends who work with us. Mrs Tiplady teaches on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, Friday and Mrs Wilson teaches on Wednesday! We also sometimes work alongside Maple and Cherry class (Early Years) and we use a variety of spaces from our 'Adventure meadow', Outdoor class room, base classroom and 'The snug'. These spaces give us so much space to learn and develop! We have a variety of TAs who help us with our learning including the amazing Ria who is passionate about learning through play. On Monday afternoons we also have the amazing Jack who takes us for PE!

If you have any questions please do catch any one of us at the end of the day or message us on Class Dojo. All relevant class information will be on our chalk notice board outside the classroom door, or you can click on one of the links below!

 The first half of the year we have been 'Time Travellers' and discovered about the past through stories and information.

 Happy New Year from Elm class!

We were very excited to learn about winter and explore the ice. It was a brilliant learning opportunity! We thought about our recent history and recounted our adventures from the Christmas break. We recycled Christmas cards and used our scissor skills to make tags for next year!

This term we’re learning about history and we’ll be travelling back in time. We can’t wait to find out more!
