Welcome to Reception, Beach Class at Freshwater & Yarmouth Primary
This year Reception Class will continue to be called Beach Class to link with the locality theme that across all year groups. The teaching staff will consist of Mrs Haisell (Class Teacher Monday to Friday), although on alternating Mondays, Miss Sampson (HLTA) will lead the class to allow for teacher Planning, Preparation and Assessment time. Also supporting the class, we are pleased that Mrs Bird remains with the class. We are also pleased to welcome Miss James (Tuesdays) and Miss Sayer (Wednesday and Thursday mornings) to our class team. Miss Sayer is also a key member of the lunch time team in the hall, so will be an additional familiar face each lunchtime.

The Autumn Term has just begun in Beach Class and we’ve welcomed 26 new children to our class. The children will be busy this half term making new friendships, getting to know their new teachers and routines of school.Â
We have been exploring our outside classroom, which has already proved very popular. The children have been keen to gather the conkers from our Horse Chestnut Tree. We’ll be using the conkers for games, construction, art and number work. Bug hunting is also a very popular activity and we hope to harvest this excitement over coming weeks by building a bug hotel and investing in some more magnifying glasses, inspection pots and classification posters.
Inside our classroom, the children have been busy exploring a range of resources including our fruit bar, new train / small world table, our sensory den with calming lights, our improved snuggle book corners and our craft zone.Â
We look forward to continuing to settle the children into their new school as the Autumn Term continues and are excited to see where the children’s interests take our learning next.
