Reception

Welcome to Reception's class page.  Here you can find out about what we are learning this week, important upcoming events and see what Early Years is all about!

Hello everyone my name is Mrs Rowles and I am the Early Years Lead and Reception class teacher here at St Thomas.

Within EYFS we work as a team and the other members of my team are:
Miss Parker – Nursery teacher
Miss Cooper and Mrs Brokenbrow who are both based within the EYFS department.

We are very proud of our EYFS department and we enjoy creating an amazing learning environment where children can build knowledge and skills.
I have been teaching for many years and really enjoy coming to school and watching children learn and progress whilst they are within our EYFS department.

On a personal level I have lots of hobbies, Pilates, walking my beautiful dog Daisy, swimming and travelling.

In Nursery and Reception we have an inside/ outside curriculum and therefore your child will need wellington boots to ensure their school shoes stay dry and clean. We play outside in all weather conditions!
During the day we do Literacy, Mathematics and Phonics and have a creative, active hands on’ curriculum that meets the needs all the seven areas of learning within the EYFS Curriculum.
