Welcome to our Reception Class.
P.E. is on Friday morning. Please ensure that your child comes to school in their PE clothes on that day.
Forest School sessions take place on Thursday mornings in all weathers. Please ensure your child has a pair of wellington boots every Thursday. If the weather is very cold, your child will need an additional fleece or jumper that can fit underneath the waterproof outfit provided by the school. Thanks.
Book bags and homework books need to be handed in on Wednesday mornings so that books can be changed and homework can be stuck in before they are handed back out to parents on Thursday afternoon.
The children have daily Phonics and Maths Mastery sessions where they have the chance to take part in new learning and to practise their skills.
They also learn through specific teacher led activities as well as through free choice activities.
We have lots of opportunities for mark making activities.
Building tall towers and counting cubes.
Role play opportunities are available in a variety of forms to encourage children to use their social and language skills.
Building up of gross motor skills is encouraged by providing the children with lots of opportunities to practise and hone these.
