Hello and a very big welcome to all of the children who will be starting school with us in September.

We wanted to share a little more information with you about what to expect when starting school. Reception at Solent Infant School is a very exciting place to be where nurturing a love of learning is at the heart of everything that we do. We cannot wait for you to begin your school adventure with us and we look forward to meeting you all very soon!

In Year R, we participate in lots of exciting learning opportunities, from visits in the local area to bug hunts in our school woodland and orchard; we always have fun exploring our learning through play both inside the classroom and outside in the school grounds.
Our entire curriculum comes alive when we are outside, which we do daily regardless of the weather, as we can continue to explore, create and investigate. We are very lucky at Solent to have a woodland area, a pond, an orchard, an adventure playground, balconies leading from the classrooms as well as an outdoor learning space specifically for the use of the Reception classes.

Reception is a very exciting place to be and we look forward to welcoming you all at Solent Infant School very soon.
