Class Donaldson- Reception 2025 - 2026

Welcome to Brierley School and to Class Donaldson! 

We hope you have had a fantastic half term!

Our topic for Summer 2 is Stories from the past. Children will begin to understand that stories have been told for many, many years. They will begin to appreciate that some stories teach us things; when hearing some of Aesop’s fables they will begin to see that the fables have a lesson for us. Children will understand that some stories were told long ago to explain things, such as the Ancient Greek myth of Prometheus stealing fire from the Gods to give to people. Importantly, children will encounter classic story characters, will find out about their adventures and escapades and will be developing new vocabulary as they enjoy the stories they hear.

Let's make this year, a year to discover and grow! 

Take a look at our half termly newsletter below.
