Reception Parents’ evenings are being held after school next week on Monday, Wednesday and Thursday.

You should have now received your time slot slip in your child’s reading diary to confirm your appointment.

On the day of your appointment, please enter and exit through the gates situated near the Reception classrooms/Reception outdoor area and then enter the building via the blue door to the left of Miss Hailey’s classroom (where the lost property box is located.)

If you arrive to your appointment a few minutes early, your child’s books will be located outside their classroom door along the corridor to give you the opportunity to have a look through at their wonderful work prior to your appointment.

We look forward to meeting with you next week.

Tomorrow is our Reception royal banquet!

We are very excited!

A reminder that children can bring in a royal costume or party clothes. They can bring this in a separate bag to change into during the afternoon.

PE kits will not be necessary for tomorrow.

Look out for lots of photographs to show the fun.

Another week completed and we couldn’t be prouder of how amazing the children have been.

They have all worked so hard this week. We have been busy practising to write our names, counting and recognising numbers, phonics, drawing self-portraits and pictures of our family, had our first crossbar PE lesson, have been wonderful going down to the hall for our lunch, listening intently to lots of stories at storytime and of course playing with friends! Wow – we are sure everyone will be tired and ready for a well-earned rest at the weekend. Next week is sure to be as packed with fun as we start to learn about stories and castles.

As we also begin forest school on Wednesday afternoon, please remember to bring in some old clothing and waterproof trousers for wet weather, plus wellies in a separate kit bag. All kit needs to be named please.  We would appreciate if over the coming days, you could take the opportunity to practise with your child getting changed independently, so they can dress themselves for forest school. Of course we will help with anything tricky, but this will help enormously.

Have a lovely weekend everyone.

Please could we ask that all lunchboxes are clearly named, to ensure they collect the correct lunchbox from the trolley at lunchtime. Please remove lunchboxes from your child’s bag and place it on the lunch trolley situated outside the Reception classroom in the morning.

Could we also request that all uniform is named so that we can return misplaced items to the correct owner quickly.

Home/School communication books/Reading diaries have now been sent home. These will be sent home with a ‘share a story’ book daily. Please return these each day in the named plastic wallets they were provided in.

Finally, could we ask that children only bring in 1 named bookbag to school each day. We are limited on space in the cloakroom area and do not have space for additional large rucksacks. Children are only expected to bring in their reading diary and reading book each day. Additional kit bags on forest school day can be catered for as we have separate storage for this.

Thank you for your support.

The Reception Team.
