Towan - Reception

Welcome to Towan Class
 
Mrs Gunningham is your class teacher.  Miss Hornegger will be our Teaching Assistant who will be supporting us every day of the week in the mornings. On Tuesday afternoons whilst Mrs Gunningham has PPA time, Mrs Humphreys will be covering. 
 
Welcome to Towan, we encourage and foster a love of learning by creating stimulating environments and planning exciting activities. We aim to inspire and encourage children to become responsible and independent learners. We listen to the children in Towan, about what they would like to learn, therefore the children have real ownership of their learning. We have questions to investigate and provide adult and independent learning opportunities, inspiring the children's interest and fascinations and to encourage children to answer their own questions.
 
In Towan Class, we follow the Statutory Guidance for the Early Years Foundation Stage. We also use the Development Matters document to support us in our planning and assessments. The links below will take you directly to both documents, which are provided here for you to read.
 
Phonics 
At Tregony we follow the systematic approach to phonics called Read, Write Inc. This is the way that your child will learn how to read and write. 
The scheme starts with children learning individual sounds that will provide your child with the knowledge and ability to break down words into sounds to read and blend them back together to spell. 
  
To find out more about RWInc please see our RWInc page Curriculum - English - Phonics 
 
PE:
This is taught on Monday afternoons. Please ensure that labelled P.E kits are in school on this day and that children have shoes and warm clothes as we aim for them to be outside as much as possible. 
  
We hope that you find the information useful on our class page, but please come and see a member of the Towan team if you have any questions or queries or please feel free to email me on;
