St. Patrick's Catholic Primary School

Together we are growing in God's love

As you all know learning in reception takes in many different forms, it isn't always an end product or a piece of work. Learning happens through problem solving, interactions, imaginations, discussions, listening, exploring the outdoors, investigating, being curious, role playing, being creative and being physical to name but a few!

Each week we will upload the children's learning and adventures.
