Reception

Welcome to Reception

 

Class Teacher: Mrs Manley

Teaching Assistants: Mrs Trayling (all day)

                                Miss Tara (Mornings)

Outdoor Learning Teacher: Miss Hannaford

A warm welcome to the new school year in Reception class.  I am looking forward to getting to know you all.

 

Our indoor PE time is on a Friday so the children can come into school in their PE kits.

We will also be doing outdoor learning on a Thursday morning.  Wellies and a waterproof jacket will be needed for these sessions, please. We ask if possible these are left in school as we use them whenever it is wet.

 

The children are allowed to bring some fruit or cereal bars for their morning snack. No nuts please. Fruit and milk will also be provided if the children want it.

A named water bottle is also required for the children to be able to drink whenever they want to.

 

Please ensure that your child brings their book bag, with reading record, to school each day as they will be regularly taking home books and the sound that they have learned each day.

 

We will be doing lots of junk modelling throughout the year, so boxes, magazines and clean recyclable materials are most welcome.  Additionally any cutting or plants would be fabulous to enhance our outdoor space

 

Information will be shared regularly on Class Dojo.
