A Warm Welcome to Reception Butterflies!
In Reception Butterflies we have two teachers: Miss Boocock whose registration group is Blue Butterflies, and Miss Dennis whose registration group is Yellow Butterflies. The children are all taught by all adults in Reception.
We are very lucky to also have Mrs Grant-Muller during some sessions too! The children are also supported in their learning by our fabulous teaching assistants, Mrs Wilson, Mrs Bartlett, Miss Longley and Miss Bentley.

At Ingrow, we offer a curriculum rich in wonder and memorable experiences. We work hard to provide a stimulating environment that provides exciting opportunities, promotes challenge, exploration, adventure and a real love of learning.
Our adults are passionate about providing the children with the very best early education and are specialists in nurturing the children and supporting them to develop a curiosity and love of learning.
Our curriculum is bespoke and builds upon our children’s life experiences, to provide them with the skills and knowledge they need to be the best they can be.
Our topics are:
- Marvellous Me!
- Terrific Tales
- Ticket to Ride
- Come Outside
- Amazing Animals
- Holding out for a Hero
A Typical Day
A typical day in Reception consists of daily Read Write Inc (our phonics session), a masterclass while having snack, indoor and outdoor provision time and then guided writing before lunch.
In the afternoons we have group maths, indoor and outdoor provision, curriculum topic time, quiet book time followed by story time.
In our choosing time there are plenty of opportunities to learn through play both through our fantastic indoor and outdoor classrooms come rain or shine!
As you can see we are very busy in Reception Butterflies! We aim to keep you up-to-date with all the fun we have through our online platform, Class Dojo.
