Welcome to Reception's home learning page! 

Please find some exciting resources for you to try at home, as well as useful websites and ideas. We like to think in reception that any activity can be a learning activity for our children. Cooking can be counting out objects, weight, ordering vegetables from tallest to shortest... the possibilities are endless! Maths and literacy aside, there are plenty of opportunities for different types of learning in the home- from creative to sensory activities, I hope you day can be varied and enjoyable. 

I will upload both new resources and familiar resources the children use in the classroom. I would love to see children's work as they progress! Please feel free to email me any work, questions, or just to keep in touch at: reception@stpeterscm.co.uk

Remember- keep smiling!
