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.

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 :)

Children can wear normal uniform under their Christmas jumpers as opposed to PE kit tomorrow (Thursday) for the performance.

Thank you.
Reception.

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.
