Newburgh C of E Primary School
Welcome to Team Crane, our Reception class.
Mrs Duthie is the class teacher.
On this page you will find current information about what is happening in Team Crane - we have our weekly home school liaison which is sent out on a Monday to let Parents/Carers know what children will be learning about in school in the week ahead and how this can be supported at home. Our Twitter feed gives you a flavour of the activities the children have enjoyed over the last few days. We also have our Early Years Foundation Stage Policy and some useful websites, apps and information for Parents/Carers. If you go to our Statutory Information and look at Curriculum you will find even more information about the Early Years Foundation Stage here at Newburgh, what children will learn along with photographs of that learning in action!
Our Early Years also benefits from Tapestry online journal subscription, giving parents/carers even more insight into what their children are experiencing. This also allows parents/carers to upload their own experiences with children and is specific to their own children.
