Reception | Pelsall Village School

Welcome to Reception Class RD!

Reception Teacher: Miss Donaldson

Reception Teaching Assistants: Mrs Spragg and

Mrs Sears

Fantastic News! We now have 11 children in class that can write their 1st name independently. We also have 2 Reception superstars who can write their full name without any visual prompts or help from an adult.

Well done Rebekah and Taylor!

I can already see the improvement in the children who are practising hard at home, and the children love telling me that they've been working hard with their grownups. Let's keep up the good work and make super progress with our little superheros this year.
