Welcome to Reception Class.  We are really looking forward to welcoming the new children into school as they begin their education journey with us.  Autumn Term is always an exciting term as it is all about new beginnings. 

We have a very busy term ahead.  Please check Seesaw regularly for any important updates and class/school information.

Our P.E. sessions will be on a Thursday.  Please can your child come to school dressed in their P.E. kit on this day (black or navy shorts, leggings or joggers with a plain treehouse colour t-shirt. They can also wear a black or navy sweatshirt or hoody or their school uniform sweatshirt/cardigan) and daps.  If your child wears earrings, please can these be removed or covered with tape on a Thursday. Long hair also needs to be tied up. 

Gardening will be on a Monday with our very special volunteer, Anna.  Children will need wellies for these sessions, these can be left in school.

Forest Schools will be on a Wednesday afternoon, children will need waterproofs and wellies, these can be kept in school.

Little Wandle reading books will come home on a Wednesday and must be returned on a Friday.  Reading for pleasure books will be changed twice a week, on a Monday and a Thursday.  We ask that you hear your child read at least 4 times a week.  We find that regular reading really helps to consolidate the phonics they are learning in class and further develop that pleasure of reading.

As always please do not hesitate to come and talk to any of the Reception staff if you have any questions or queries.

Our topic this term is 'All About Me'.  Here the children will develop confidence when talking and learning about themselves. Every Friday we will send home the 'This is Me' box, which is a great opportunity for your child to share things that are important to them and what makes them special.  So look out for that. We will also be thinking about people who help us.  If any parents have a job as a key worker please let a member of staff know and we would love to invite you into the classroom to talk about your role.
