Reception Elm - Mrs Peters

Welcome to Reception Elm 

My name is Mrs Peters and I am very excited to introduce myself as the Reception teacher and Early Years Phase Leader. In class Elm we also have the fantastic Miss Centi and Miss Saleem to help us with our learning. I will be updating this page with important dates and information, as well as photographs and videos capturing some wonderful learning moments. We will cover topics throughout the year and will base our learning around a text. We also plan in the moment and will follow the children’s interests, in order to allow children to be leaders of their own learning. Our classroom is calm and purposeful, creating a relaxed homely atmosphere for children to learn and flourish.

Outdoor Learning 

It is essential that children get frequent and regular opportunities to explore outdoors, as this supports children’s learning and development. We are very lucky to have our very own outdoor classroom and Forest School, where children get to take safe risks, problem solve and learn about their natural environment. Please ensure children arrive at school with a warm coat, hat and gloves ready for their outdoor adventures.
