Welcome to Robins Class!

Robins is a happy, busy and nurturing Reception classroom where children are at the heart of everything we do. We believe young children learn best through play, exploration and positive relationships, and our days are full of meaningful experiences that spark curiosity, confidence and a love of learning. Our classroom is carefully set up to encourage independence, creativity and choice. Adults play alongside the children, modelling language, asking thoughtful questions and helping learning to grow through conversation and shared experiences.

Phonics and early reading are a big focus for us in Robins. Children take part in daily phonics sessions and we love sharing stories, rhymes and songs. We also love Drawing Club, inspired by Greg Botrill, where children develop imagination, vocabulary and early writing skills through drawing and storytelling. Writing is celebrated in many ways - including our much-loved morning pen parties! Children are supported to explore maths with curiosity, develop number sense and build confidence to have a go.

We have Proud Pegs in our classroom which celebrate children's amazing work and achievements throughout the week. We value effort, creativity and perseverance, helping children to feel proud of themselves and confident to have a go independently.

Robins is a place where we hope all children feel safe, happy and celebrated. We aim to provide a nurturing classroom filled with smiles, creativity and growing confidence, where every child is valued for who they are and supported to be their very best.
