Reception

School closure 

Hello Reception

We hope you are safe and well and enjoying the extra time with your families. We miss you very much and look forward to having you back in school when it is safe to do so.

We are so proud of all of your achievements and hope you are keeping up the hard work at home! There are some links on our class page to help you with phonics and maths. You teachers will also set weekly assignments for you to complete on Reading Eggs. Your log in is inside your reading record.

It is very important to continue with learning at home as best as possible during this time. Each child has been allocated a home learning booklet which includes a range of activities to complete. Please contact the school, if you did not receive this booklet.

If you have any questions or concerns about home learning please contact the school and your teachers will be happy to help!

We hope to see you all very soon

Welcome to Reception!

In Reception we have Miss Jamil in RR and Mrs Mackinnon and Miss Partridge in RE. Teachers are supported by Mrs Smith, Mrs Lea-Field, Mrs Browne and Miss Hadley.

We have a very exciting year ahead! Keep checking our page. 

Outside, we will use the climbing equipment and balance bikes to increase our physical skills and explore how our bodies move in different ways. 

This half term we will have a Parent Reading Workshop on Thursday 30th January at 2:30pm. All parents are invited to come in and share a book with their child. This will help you support your child get excited about reading. We will also plan a visit to our local library to give our children the opportunity to explore a wider range of books. 

We will be learning lots of sounds in our phonics lessons!

Here are some useful Youtube videos to practise phonics at home.
