Reception: Matisse Class

This year we are known as Matisse Class!

Ms Harwood is the class teacher supported by Mrs Cooke and sometimes Mrs Foster. A young child’s day in Matisse class is made up of many different elements: talking and listening, reading and writing activities, stories and poetry, art and craft, developing mathematical and scientific skills and knowledge, religious education, P.E. and music. These are usually organised around a particular theme (e.g., “Ourselves” or “Our School”). The topics usually last about a term and incorporate all aspects of the curriculum. The security offered by the firm yet happy setting of Matisse class enables the children’s educational foundations to be established.
