Welcome to Reception

We have settled well into school and we are enjoying our learning. We learn through play and structured activities in our classrooms and outdoor area.

Our Teacher is:                                            Miss Hann

Our Teaching assistants are:              Miss McDonnell, Mr Boon and Mrs Samolia

Dojo  

Dojo is a brilliant communication tool that we use in school. School announcements, celebrations and additional optional learning activities will be sent via the platform.    Please remember to check your child's class Dojo page. If you have any issues logging on to Dojo, please see your child's class teacher. 

P.E.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                               

The PE days for the Autumn term will be Monday and Wednesday each week. Please ensure your child has a PE kit in school and they come with earrings covered or removed on these days.  Please ensure that all school uniform and PE kit is labelled as this helps us to give items back quickly to children if they get mixed up. 

Home Reading                                                                                                                                                                                                                                   

The children will complete a reading session each week with a member of staff in school. Home reading books will be changed on a Monday and Friday. We ask parents to read with their child each night for 5 minutes and fill in the reading diary. This alerts staff that the book has been completed and then can be changed. Please ensure reading books are in your child's bag each day. 

Autumn term

This term is all about settling in and building relationships. We will be reading 'The Colour Monster' 'The Colour Monster goes to school' 'My body' and 'Head, Shoulders,  Knees and Toes'.  The children will explore different emotions, meet their buddies, explore their senses and begin to recognise how they are the same and different to others. We will begin phase 2 phonics and start our learning of numbers to 10.
