Welcome to foundation stage, where children are encourage and supported to become independent, enthusiastic learners for life. Through structured play, focus activities and small group teaching children are nurtured through their learning journey.

My name is Mrs Crowther and I will be teaching Clownfish class this year. Working alongside me will be Mrs Windsor.

**Our Expectations in Reception**

Everyday children who work hard, are help and impress adults in school will receive a smiley.

Children collect these smileys their chart and when they get 10 the teacher will exchange them from a sticker. When children collect 100 smileys they get a Bronze certificate, 200 smileys a silver certificate and 300 smileys a gold certificate.

Each week  I will pick a start of the week who will get to bring Boarshaw Bear home for the weekend. In Boarshaw Bear’s bag you will find a book where you can record what Boarshaw Bear has been up to at the weekend.
