Dear Parents,

 

Welcome to our weekly Reception blog!

We have enjoyed another week together in school and the children have been amazing. 

We are working with the children individually and observing them within provision to establish their starting points for learning. We have introduced some short carpet sessions of counting and circle time. Please look at our Seesaw app as we upload photos of the children and it will give you an insight into what they are doing. Please also have a look at our Class Page on the website, this has an overview of our topic 'Marvellous Me' for this half term.

 

 

 

Our Teams.

The children have been put into our school teams, Earth, Air, Fire and Water. They are used for a variety of purposes throughout the year including Sports Day. 

Phonic Meeting

 

 

As mentioned in last weeks blog we are holding our Phonics Meeting for parents on Monday 15th September at 5.30pm in the Reception classroom. Please come along to hear how we teach Phonics and what you can do at home to help your child. We look forward to seeing you!

 

Show and Tell

We have been encouraging the children to access books in our provision and have offered a variety of texts , including comics. We would like to create a display in our reading area that will include a photo of each child (from home) reading in an interesting pose or place! Please can you either send in a photo or send one via seesaw for us to print. Thankyou!

End of Day Routine

• Children will only be allowed to go home with adults listed on the safeguarding form, unless school has been contacted to state otherwise. ​
• Children will be dismissed one at a time. Please let the adult on the gate know who you are picking up and they will then call the child.
• We kindly request that all children are dismissed prior to Teachers/ Teaching Assistants being approached by parents. ​
• Should any child need to come back into the classroom, we will allow them back into the room after all of the children have been dismissed.​

PE

PE will take place on a Tuesday and a Friday. Please ensure earrings have been removed on these days to enable the children to join in with the lesson.

 

Reminders:

 

• Please ensure all children have a named pair of wellies in school for rainy days!

• If you could also send in spare clothes in case of accidents to be kept in your child's PE bag as we have a limited supply.

 

 

Thankyou for your continued support and have a lovely weekend!
