Welcome to Reception
Welcome back to all the children and families. We hope you are ready for an exciting year in Reception! Our year is jam-packed with exciting and wonderful topics and events. We hope all the children have a fantastic time with us!
Topics this half term.
Our topic this term is ‘All About Me.’
We will be focusing on two books that celebrate individuality and being unique.
The books we will be reading are ‘Dogs’ by Emily Gravett and ‘Only One You’ by Linda Kranz. You can find versions of the story on YouTube and it may be beneficial to watch these together at home and talk about the story with your child.
Arriving to and from school
It is very important that you arrive to school at your set time each morning and collect at the set time each day after school. School starts for Reception children at 8.50am and finishes at 3.10pm.
Homework and reading books
Please bring your book bag into school every day. On a Thursday we will keep your book bag in school so that we can get your new homework into your book ready to go out on a Friday.
You will be sent some number cards. Please can you practise number recognition, shapes, colours and name writing at home with your child in addition to their homework.
Water bottles
Please can all children bring a water bottle into school. This is to make sure that your child has access to water throughout the day as we are now discouraging reusable cups.
