Welcome to Reception

Welcome to reception class, where we love to learn and play. We are Mrs Watson, Mrs Marshall, Mrs Bojanowski and Mr Gladwell. We are committed to ensuring every child has the very best, happiest and smoothest start to their school life. Please check this page regularly where we will update you on what we have been learning about and any important information and dates for your diary. If you have any queries or require any support, please come and see one of our team who will be happy to help. We look forward to sharing all of our new and exciting news with you throughout the year.

My name is Mrs Watson and I am the reception class teacher for YRW. I love coming to Silver Springs each day to watch the children grow and learn! When I am not at school, I love spending time with my son and my family. I like to go on long walks in the countryside and I enjoy swimming and painting. To relax, I enjoy reading a good book with a cup of hot chocolate in front of the fire! Please do not hesitate to come and see me if you need any support!

My name is Mr Gladwell and I am the reception class teacher for YRG. I’ve been teaching at Silver Springs for a number of years now. I am passionate about my job and love helping children to succeed. I have three children of my own and in my spare time I love being in the great outdoors, running in the hills. If you have any concerns or questions, please feel free to pop in to speak to me at the end of the day.

Seesaw

So that you have a window on your child’s day at school, we use an online app called ‘Seesaw’, which parents can download onto any mobile phone. Seesaw enables us to upload photos, videos and messages, which you can see immediately in real-time.

It is completely secure and private and can only be viewed by yourself or other family members that you have invited. It also acts as two way messaging service where you can ask questions or share information.

The Seesaw family app is simple to download and all the information  you need will be given to you once your child starts their journey at Silver Springs.

We love books!

Engaging children in high quality texts is a priority for us. Take a look at our Reading Spine to find out which texts your child will encounter during their time in Reception! Find out more about how we teach Phonics by clicking on the link below.
