Welcome to Dragons class page !

We are a wonderful class of sixteen reception children. Zoe Hunter is the Dragons class teacher who is supported by Miss Roe and Mrs Hill our fantastic teaching assistants. On Monday afternoons and Tuesday mornings Lucy Young teaches the class offering music and RE. 

Our day flows with a balance between child-initiated and adult-led teaching. We very much believe in encouraging the children's interests and using this to support our planning. We ensure that there is plenty of opportunities for the children to practice what they have learnt through their play by enhancing the areas of the classroom.

We have a 'whatever the weather' philosophy and spend a great deal of time making the most of our beautiful outdoor classroom. Our children are encouraged to move between the two environments and independently change from their slippers into waterproof trousers, wellies and coats. Mrs Rendell is a trained forest school leader and the children engage in regular Forest School Sessions in our small area of woodland. 

Please look at our class learning book to find out what we have been up to each week. 

Our aim is to make learning as hands on and meaningful for the children as possible.
