Reception at Trewirgie Infants’ School 

We believe every child has the right to learn in a happy, safe, caring and inspiring environment. We support children to develop their communication skills to build positive relationships with both the adults and children around them which we nurture carefully throughout the year. We enable children to learn through play and exploration alongside carefully planned adult directed sessions where children develop their listening and communication skills in order to succeed in subjects such as Reading, Writing and Maths. 

It is our aim at Trewirgie to support every child to become independent thinkers and masters of their own learning. Children and adults work in partnership and our curriculum and enabling environments nurture each child's naturally creative mind, empowering them to succeed. We value the importance of outdoor learning and children have access to our outdoor spaces during our independent learning times both in the morning and afternoon and during our weekly Wild Tribe sessions.  

Our ethos of ‘We care, We help, We succeed’ underpins both the provision we provide and the interactions that take place between adults and children in Reception.  

We care for the children and support them to develop their understanding of caring for those around them. We help children to develop their skills and children are supported to develop resilience and perseverance. We provide children with the support they need to succeed and ensure all children feel successful in their achievements both at school and home.

The remaining four are known as the specific areas as they focus on the following:

Our Environments
 
We have three Reception classes at Trewirgie and each class has a unique focus.
 
King Edward is our creative hub with a huge range of resources for creating and crafting. 
Wheal Uny is a space for small world imaginative play and lose part exploration.
Robinson has role play spaces for all, including our home area, stage and deconstructed role play space. 
 
All children have opportunities to explore the classrooms everyday during our independent learning times, these take place both in the morning and afternoon. During independent learning times the children also have access to our wonderful outdoor learning spaces.

What is special about Reception at Trewirgie Infants School?
 
Drawing Club! We love taking part in Drawing Club each day. It enables us to be creative, imaginative and develop our mark making skills. We read a story each day and learn new vocabulary linked to each story. Have a look at our clips and photos to find out what this looks like.

What is special about Reception at Trewirgie Infants School?

Life skills sessions!

We feel it is important that the children have the opportunity to practise skills that will enable them to develop resilience and independence. Each year we spend time learning how to put on our coats, shoes and socks as well as how to use excellent table manners and cut our food using a knife and fork. We also follow the Big Brush Club programme to support the children with tooth brushing at school. The children feel a huge sense of pride and success when they are able to develop these skills and use them in their every day lives.
