Reception

Welcome to the Reception Class Webpage

On this page you will find lots of information about the staff, the children and the learning in Reception. There are usually photos of the children busy learning and some links to other websites which you may find useful.

Miss Collins is the Reception teacher at Dunster First School.

Mr Armitage teaches the Reception class most Thursdays.

Support assistants are Mrs Nicholls, Mrs Redman, Mrs Evans, Mrs Shambrook and Mr Hardie.

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 in our classroom and outside in the local environment. Scroll down to find out what we have been up to.
