Class R

Welcome to Reception Class

Welcome to Class R!  My name is Alice Atterton and I have the pleasure of teaching our Reception class at Milverton Primary School this year. Having attended Milverton School myself (please don't ask me how long ago!) I returned to teach here in 2016. My own children are here at the school too, keeping it a family affair. I completed an Early Years specialism for my teacher training so Class R is my happy place!  

 For the foreseeable future, I am lucky enough to share the class with wonderful Mrs Wedderkopp on a Tuesday and she'll be embracing all weathers for outdoor learning in the afternoon. We will both be supported each day by the irreplaceable and HIGHLY experienced Miss Chiplin who has taught in reception, and previously pre-school, for many years.  On a Thursday afternoon we are delighted to be welcoming back Mrs Egerton (Mrs Reception herself!) and Miss Storey who will provide an impossible-to-beat PE lesson.

 In Class R, we love to learn through play, which we refer to as our ‘Own Learning’.  We are always embarking on new adventures, such as travelling the seven seas as pirates, exploring outer space or working out how to pull up an Enormous Turnip!  We all love to play and learn outdoors too, especially on the bikes, scooters and in our mud kitchen. We are a strong team and we enjoy planning exciting learning opportunities together by exploring and developing the children’s interests and challenging them to extend their learning by asking lots of questions! Each term, we have a different focus to our 'Quest' learning, which supports the children on their journey from the Early Years Foundation Stage to Year 1.   

 I really hope that Class R will be a fantastic first step into your child’s school journey and look forward to working with you to make it a true success.
