EYFS at CCEPS

Welcome to Cygnet Class, our Reception and Year 1 class. Please download this leaflet to find out more about our class, school and teaching staff. 

What is Cygnet class all about?

We aim to:

• Foster the personal, social and emotional well-being in all children by supporting the transition to a school setting;
• Enhance children’s social skills, encouraging them to co-operate and work harmoniously alongside, and with each other;
• Promote attention skills and perseverance;
• Create independent and enquiring learners;
• Build on what children already know at a level that is relevant for each individual;
• Recognise that every child is unique;
• Develop positive relationships with all our families.

How will my child learn in Reception?

In Reception your child will learn in a very practical, purposeful way. Your child will learn with the EYFS teaching staff, both in whole class or group situations and through child-initiated activities.  We keep our planning flexible so we can always cater for children’s individual needs and interests.

The Reception children are based in the Cygnets classroom along with Year 1; this classroom has access to our fantastic outside learning area.

Mrs McMullan is the teacher responsible for Cygnets class and Mrs Harvey is the Learning Support Assistant.

The curriculum in Reception is divided into three prime areas of learning and four specific areas and follows the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) Curriculum from birth to five. These seven areas are:

Personal, Social and Emotional Development

Communication and Language

Physical Development

Literacy

Mathematics

Understanding the World

Expressive Arts and Design
