Reception

Welcome to Summer Term in Reception

We are now in our final term in Reception and are excited for another fun-filled term of exploration, learning and development.

We will continue to strive to provide a unique, challenging and inspirational curriculum based on new and memorable experiences. We will also continue to establish strong relationships with our children, but also with you – their families.

During this final term, we will continue to work with your child to learn and understand their individual needs and support them in their learning and development.

As always, our aim is for your children to become happy and confident learners and to carry their love of learning throughout their life.

Summer Bookshelf

Our Summer Bookshelf is filled with high quality, engaging texts which will inspire our learning across the curriculum.

The books this term will help to spark our imagination and curiosity. We will use them to encourage the growth of new skills such as resilience and empathy, as well as developing creativity and our understanding of the world beyond Crown Street Primary School.
