Welcome to
Curious Cuckoos Class Page
Curious Cuckoo Class is our Reception and Key Stage 1 Class.
The class teacher is Mrs Page.
We are passionate about giving children the best start to their education and consider it a real privilege to welcome children into Chailey St Peters as they embark on their educational journey.
We aim to provide children with a wealth of learning experiences guided by their own interests and are fortunate enough to have both a large indoor and outdoor learning environment.
We believe in providing children with open ended, limitless play resources with which their imagination is free to roam. For example, you won't find a box of dressing up costumes but fabric, pens and pegs in which children are free to create their own costumes for whatever role they want to take.
Primary school places will be announced on April 16th. Please contact our school office should you require any information. We can't wait to welcome you to Chailey St Peters in September 2024!
Cuckoo Class Environment
Term 1 and 2 in Cuckoo Class
2024-2025
We are so delighted to welcome our new reception children into Cuckoo class alongside our returning year 1's.
This term we will be exploring what makes you, you!
We will be exploring the book Once There Were Giants to support how children’s lives have changed since they were babies. We will also look at events beyond living memory marking Remembrance in November and Bonfire Night. We will have lots of fun looking at superheros and the story of Supertato before considering everyday Superhero’s. Are you one?
Children will be exploring their immediate world locating where the school is on an aerial photograph and recognising features within the local environment. They will create maps and models of the school. Then of course we will be preparing for our Christmas Nativity. What a magical time!

This Term's value is COurage
Our HOMe School Partnership
We know children do best when home and school work together and we truly value the role parents and carers have as their children's primary educators. We use Class Dojo as a means of communication between school and home. Please feel free to message us directly on here should you have any questions or concerns. We will reply promptly. We will also share with you your child's individual learning as well as class news. Please also share with us what you do at home to show the child's full learning journey.
Phonics
The Systematic Synthetic Phonics scheme used at Chailey St Peters is ‘Little Wandle Letters and Sounds Revised’.
Resources and support videos on how you can help your child with this at home are available for parents on this website and on the 'Little Wandle'. Below are the sounds your child will be learning.
