Welcome to Reception
Class Teacher: Mrs Kendall
Teaching Assistant: Mrs Evans
In Reception, we aim to provide a safe, happy and engaging environment that allows children to learn through a combination of purposeful play and adult interaction. We have a broad topic that we follow half termly but we also allow children's interests to shape the learning. Each week, we have a focus text that is linked to our theme/class interests or current events such as Chinese New Year. We our very proud of every child in our class and love sharing and celebrating the similarities and differences between us all.
We love to play, learn...
...and master new skills.

Reading books
As soon as your child starts Reception, they will be sent home with a reading book of an appropriate level and a reading journal for you to record their reading at home. There is an expectation that your child is read with every night.
School dinners/Snacks
If you would like your child to have a hot dinner at school, you will need to go to the school office and ask Mrs Stevens for your login and password. Your child will be provided with fruit as a snack during the morning, so you do not need to send your child in with their own.
If anyone would like to come into class and help with readers, your help would be much appreciated, just ask myself or another member of the team and we can arrange days and times.
Wrap around care
Our school has both a Breakfast Club and an After School Club which Nursery and Reception children are welcome to attend.
