Westcliffe Primary School
'Our school is committed to inspirational teaching that develops aspirational young people.'

At Westcliffe we understand that the Early Years Foundation Stage is the most important time in a child’s life. We aim to work closely with families to ensure that all children have the best start to their education.
This half term our topic will be ‘My Community and Me!’ We will be talking about members of our immediate family and people in our community. We will be developing our understanding of why people and places are special to us. We will also learn about the past and present, discussing how we all grow and change over time.
We are going to be enjoying listening to and joining in with traditional rhymes and stories, such as The Gingerbread Man and Goldilocks and the Three Bears. We will be learning our numbers to ten and sorting objects by size, shape and weight.
Our Reception environment is welcoming, dynamic and language rich. We ensure children can learn and explore safely, whilst developing their self-regulation and independence. The children learn through a balance of adult directed activities and child initiated play.
The Reception teachers are Miss Housley and Miss Wright.
