Welcome to the Reception Class / Hippo web page!

This is our class special page where we will share activities, information, photographs and useful resources with you to share with your Hippo at home.

You will see lots of pictures from our learning adventures in the blog pages below. Can your Hippo share their learning with you? Can they spot their school friends?

Please remember to come and chat to us if you have any questions or super good news to share about your Hippo!

We are so happy that you are part of out Longton Primary School family.

Mrs. Morrison and Mrs. Thomson
