St Patricks Class
Welcome to an insight into St Patrick's class, where we cherish every day to learn and love! This is where we begin our fabulous journey of discovery!
In Reception, our main class teacher is: Miss Ford
Every half term, our learning is shared through our newsletters:

In our class, we’ve chosen to support the Pudsey Community Project as our charity because it serves our local community and provides practical help to those who need it most. Inspired by the example of Jesus, we recognise our responsibility to care for others and contribute positively to our community.
As part of our fundraising efforts, we will be holding a dress down day and collecting donations of good quality clothing. These donations will directly support the work of the Pudsey Community Project and help local individuals and families. A date for our dress down day and clothing collection will be set later in the year and we will share further details with the families in advance. We look forward to working together as a school community to support this worthwhile cause.
Through this initiative, we aim to live out our school values of compassion, service and generosity.

Charity and Love - class virtue
Our class has chosen friendship as our virtue because we believe that being a good friend helps everyone feel happy, safe and valued. Friendship is at the heart of our classroom community and reflects the way Jesus taught us to treat others with kindness, respect and love.
Throughout the year, we will learn how to be good friends by sharing, taking turns, listening to one another and including everyone in our play and learning. We will think about our words and actions can help others and how we can support our friends when they need us.
Friendship is especially important in our class because it helps to build positive relationships, work together and create a caring environment where everyone can thrive. By choosing friendship as our virtue, we hope to grow in kindness, compassion and understanding, making our classroom a welcoming place for all.
"A friend loves at all times." (Proverbs 17:17)
Beyond the classroom
Throughout the year, we would love families to share photos of special events, celebrations or achievements that your child has taken part in. These will help the children talk about their experiences, build confidence and strengthen links between home and school.
Engaging with our learning
In EYFS, we encourage children to actively engage with their learning through play, exploration and hands on experience. By following their interests and working together, children develop confidence, independence and a love of learning whilst making meaningful progress across all areas of development.
