Reception Forest School 🍁

Today was our first session out in the forest area. We had a lovely time in the beautiful weather, exploring the area and playing with friends.

Reception Baseline Assessments

We are really pleased with how well everyone has settled in at school! Everyone is working so hard already.

At the beginning of Reception, as we get to know your child, we will be carrying out an assessment with them, to ensure we recognise their strengths and areas we can help them develop over the year. These assessments are informal and carried out 1:1 with us. We look at a range of activities, including Speaking and Listening, Literacy and Maths skills using lovely resources such as toy bears, pictures, cards and shapes.

We wanted to ensure you are aware of these assessments that are expected to be carried out in the first six weeks of term (which happen in every school) and may also like to read the information booklet attached from the Standards and Testing agency.

Star of the week 💫

A huge well done to all children in Reception for a wonderful first full week in school. You are all settling in so well. A certificate has been awarded to each of you because we are so proud. 🌟

Each week we pick a star of the week for something special. This weeks star in our class is Harry. He has been our star for working so hard, following our smart code and doing his best as we learn how everything works in big school. We are really proud.

Well done Reception!

A huge well done to all children in Reception for completing their first week in school. We are so proud of how well you have come in each day, settled down, followed the new routines and played so well together with your new friends. Thank you also to parents and carers, who have been very supportive with the system of dropping your child at the door. This has worked really well! Please do bear with us next week when we have all 30 children to pair up to the right person at hometime. It may take us a little longer to begin with, but we need to make sure every one goes home safely.

We will begin to send home photos soon either on the website or via the EvidenceMe app. We are just waiting for some final consent slips to ensure we only send out photos of those who have permission.

Please could we thank those who have already sent in their beautifully decorated Learning Journey covers and EvidenceMe consent slips. If you have not done this yet, please could we ask for those as soon as possible so we can stick the covers to your child’s brand new book.

Have a wonderful, well deserved break over the weekend and we look forward to seeing all of you on Monday morning.

The Reception Team :)

Welcome Reception Class 2021!

We are really looking forward to meeting you all next week for your first ever week in big school. We can’t wait to meet you all and get to know you.

We are so proud already of how brave you will all be coming in to your new classes. We know parents will be keen to see your classroom and we will let you know when we can invite you in to see your new environment.

A reminder that for the first week only, you will have been allocated either a morning or afternoon session. From the second week, you will stay for the whole day and enjoy your first school lunch together.

PE days for Reception are on a Wednesday and a Thursday and you can come dressed in your smart PE kits on those days. We will send further info about Forest Schools later in the week.

Attached to the end of this message is a reminder of Reception Class Information and things you will need for school. We have also attached an overview of our curriculum and the things your child will be learning about this term.

We will be sending home our ‘Home School Communication and Reading Diary’ in the first week. However, if you have any queries, then please do email us directly on our year group email newdale.yearrteam@taw.org.uk

Enjoy the rest of the weekend. See you all on Monday.

The Reception Team :)

Hello Reception,

We would like to say a massive well done for a wonderful first year in school. You have made us exceptionally proud this year, working hard every single day, whether that be in school or at home. We will miss you very much, but you are more than ready to move on to Year 1 and learn lots of new, wonderful things.

Have a happy, fun-filled, safe holiday and we look forward to seeing you next year. We will be sure to pop in and say hello to see how you are getting on.

Watch out on the website for a special video coming soon to show your last few days of fun with your friends…

Career Week in Reception

Reception enjoyed a very special visitor yesterday. We had a zoo keeper from Hoo Zoo in to tell us all about her duties in caring for the animals. She brought along a very big snake as her special guest. 🐍 He was very well behaved, though it was very funny how he liked to rest on her head!
