Wellbeing

Hello there,

Here is the last-but-one home learning pack for this school year.

There are yet more pirate things, some counting and Maths sheets which should be straightforward to use, lots of investigations and outside activities. And some fun but wacky dancing and singing. Please have a go!

I will be in touch with one more week of learning next Friday.

Stay safe, take care and keep washing your hands!

From Miss Collins

Reception

The Reception Class at Dunster First School is taught by Miss Collins.

Mrs Vickery also teaches in Reception, most Tuesdays.

Support assistants are Mrs Nicholls and Mr Hardie.

Mrs Shambrook comes in to hear us read on Tuesdays and Mrs White comes to help on Fridays.

During their time in Reception, the children spend most of their days learning through play and by exploring the world around them. We are always very busy! Below are some photos taken throughout the year that show just some of the exciting things we get up to.
