Hello Reception families

We cannot wait to welcome you back to school on Monday. The classroom is looking fabulous (even if we do say so ourselves!) and we have a fantastic, new outside area to play and explore in. There will be lots of familiar routines and Mrs March and Mrs Rogers will be there to welcome everyone in. We are also excited to have Ms Browne as the class teacher on Fridays, as well as Miss McCourt (TA) supporting learning on a full-time basis and Mrs Stockman, who is a trainee teacher and will be with us on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesdays each week.

Here are a few reminders:

Snack:

We will not have delivery of fruit/veg until next week so please provide your child with a snack until then. The government provides a free piece of fruit or vegetable to every child, every day. There is often a choice of fruit/veg, mainly apple, banana, pear, tomato, carrot. If your child does not like this fruit, then we ask that you provide them with an alternative. The school's preference is that it is a piece of fruit or vegetable that they do like, rather than something in a packet. Please do come and talk to us if this is a problem.

Water bottles:

We ask that you provide you child with water in their bottles each day to keep them healthy and hydrated. 

PE:

Our PE days this term are Monday and Wednesday afternoon. Please make sure that your child has a labelled PE bag with all items of clothing and footwear labelled too please. We are lucky to have Mr Treble for both these sessions, so lots of fun and interactive physical development to be had!

Topic:

Our topic this term is 'Our Wonderful World' where we will be learning about animals and the continents and oceans. Please look out for the knowledge organiser coming soon that will give you more details about our topic and how you can help your child with their learning.

Parent Information session:

You can come and find out more about the Year One curriculum at the Parent Information Session on Wednesday 14th September at 9am. 

We can't wait to see you on Monday morning. 😀

Mrs March, Mrs Stockman, Mrs Rogers and Miss McCourt
