Welcome to
Curious Cuckoos Class Page
Curious Cuckoo Class is our Reception and Key Stage 1 Class.
The class teachers are Mrs Casserly and 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.

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 thier 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.
Ideas for home learning can be found on our homework grid below.
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.
