Welcome to Dormice Class!

Dormice is where our wonderful Reception children learn.

We are taught by our class teacher Mrs Begum and our teaching assistants Mrs Sillett, Mrs Sheppard and Mrs Dawson.

Our learning takes place through play, practical and enquiry-based activities, as well as whole and small group teaching sessions. We have continuous use of our indoor and outdoor environments and enjoy accessing a range of activities including forest schools.

We love learning in our classroom and would like to share some of the things we have been investigating and exploring so far. Have a look at our photographs and see pictures of our amazing work and activities.
