Good evening,
As you can see, now Autumn is in full swing, we are experiencing both warm and wet weather. Because of this, the children are taking coats, jumpers and cardigans on and off more frequently whilst playing outside at break and lunchtimes. Please can you help us by ensuring that their uniform and coats are labelled with their full name so that we can easily and quickly partner up clothes again with the right person.
It can be quite a challenge to man the doors at home time and search for lost belongings at the same time, and we need to ensure that each child returns to the correct person collecting them.
We would like to reassure you that we always encourage the children to hang their jumpers on their peg when they take them off, and also to bring them in from the playground. Unfortunately despite reminders, the children can get easily distracted when they are busy playing or having fun so getting mixed up with other uniform is inevitable. We would appreciate if you would remind your child to do their best at bringing in their belongings too as they are learning the ropes.
Many thanks,

The Reception Team.

Good afternoon,

Only a couple of days left until the end of half term!

The children have had a great week, enjoying our trip to Wrekin Forest School yesterday. We hope they told you all about it and slept well! We will send some photos out via Evidence Me soon so you can see the day in action.

We wanted to remind you that Mrs Cleobury will be leaving us at the end of this week to begin her maternity leave. We would like to take the opportunity to bid her farewell,  best of luck and of course say a huge thank you for all her hard work with the children. She will be missed, but promises to pay us a visit before the end of the academic year.

Thank you

The Reception team.

Good morning,

We have updated our timetable for this term. Forest school will now be on a Thursday afternoon.
Please wear PE kits to school and bring in a separate forest kit on this day.

However, please note this Thursday (1st May) is class photo day, so for this day only, please can children come dressed in normal school uniform and bring forest kits in a separate bag for the afternoon.

Thank you
Reception

We are really looking forward to welcoming everybody back tomorrow for the Summer term! We are sure you had a lovely break and look forward to hearing all about it. 

We cannot wait to start our brand new topic all about growing this half term and think you will enjoy our new garden centre role play areas.

Please note a change in PE days this term. PE days for Reception will now be on a Monday and Thursday. Children are to come dressed in their PE kit uniform on those days.

Forest School will now be on a Thursday afternoon and separate kits are needed for this.

With the lovely weather, please consider sun hats and water bottles and we also ask you to apply sun cream at home before coming to school. Please do label every item of clothing, as you can imagine in the warmer months, the children may take of cardigans and jumpers when needed. In the event of your child misplacing their belongings, this will help them to be reunited with the correct person.

Thank you for your support.

The Reception team :)

Wow! Half a year all done of Reception already. ☺️
We are so proud of the progress everyone has made already! You deserve a fantastic rest over the half term holiday. We cannot wait to hear about your break when you come back.

We would also like to thank Miss Hodgetts for all her hard work this year and wish her all the best as she leaves today for her maternity leave. We will all miss you. Good luck Miss Hodgetts and let us know when you have some wonderful news to share 😁

Next week, we are learning about what a Baptism is. Later in the term, we look at other naming ceremonies too. If your child has taken part in a Baptism, other naming ceremony or religious ceremony that you would like to share with us in class, then please do send in a photograph, along with some brief details about the event. It could be a ceremony they have attended, if not one taken part in for themselves. Ideally, photos to be sent via Evidence Me so that we can keep precious photos safe, but please do chat to us if this is not possible.

Thank you – the children will love sharing their own range of experiences with their friends.

The Reception team.

We are looking forward to welcoming you back tomorrow morning and hope you all had a fantastic Christmas break.

A reminder that tomorrow (Tuesday), children in Reception are invited to bring in 1 toy, clearly named (please no electronics or toys with small parts that could get easily lost) for a show and tell session in the afternoon.

Here is some information for the Spring Term:

Wednesday and Thursday – PE. Please can children come dressed in their PE uniforms on these days.

Wednesday – Forest school. Please bring named forest kits in a bag to change into in the afternoon.

Due to the cold weather, we recommend hats, gloves and scarves to wrap up warm at playtime. Please can we ask that all these items are clearly named, along with cardigans, jumpers and coats so that they can be reunited with the correct owner should they become misplaced. We will remind children to look after their things and pop them on their pegs if not on their body, but if you could support this at home with a little reminder to try their best to keep their belongings with them, then this would be really helpful.

Thank you for your support.

Reception :)
