Welcome to our Reception Class Page!
Welcome back after a lovely half-term break. The children had a super successful half term in Summer 1 filled with lots of fun learning experiences.
Summer 2 will be even more fun! Reception’s focus topic this half-term is SUPERHEROES! Our new topic will captivate the children’s imaginations and develop lots of creative play and wonderful language. The children will focus on heroic members of our community such as doctors, nurses and emergency service workers.
Check out the curriculum overview to see what exciting things we have planned for Summer 2. The Summer 2 overview goes into more depth about what outcomes we will be helping your child achieve by the end of their Reception year.
This half-term we will be getting the children ready for their transition into year 1. The children will attend assembly each Friday, have their lunchtime play on the ‘big yard’ with the rest of the school and they will have opportunities to meet their new teacher and spend time in their new classroom.
Reminders:
- We ask for a snack contribution of £2 per week per child payable every Monday morning. This is to give children a wide variety of choices for snack and to ensure they try as many new tastes and textures as possible.
- Please send your child into school with their own clearly labelled water bottle, school do not provide or sell water bottles and learning is thirsty work!
- Please ensure coats, hats, scarves and cardigans or jumpers are clearly labelled with your child’s name.
- Reading books will be changed each MONDAY. Book bags should still come into school each day. Please aim to read with your child each evening and comment in their reading records. Remember, if your child achieves 5 reads per week, they will receive a special treat the following Monday. 30 days of reading per half term will ensure your child receives a special reading certificate and a chance at winning a special prize! Reading records must be signed by an adult to count as one read.
- PE day is FRIDAY. Children are to come into school in their PE kit and pumps must be left in school for them to change into. Please speak to us if you are unsure of what your child is allowed to wear for PE.
- Family Friday Reading will take place on the following dates at 2.40pm
Friday 20th June
Friday 27th June
Friday 4th July
Friday 11th July
As always, thank you for your continued support.
