Reception

Welcome to Reception 2020-21

Hello and Happy New Year to you all!

Did you enjoy watching you and your friends star in 'A King is Born'?

We are very sorry that you have not returned to school yet. We will miss you all very much. We are going to be using our class page to help you learn at home. Please check our page every day for new and exciting learning. If you click here, you will find all of our home learning activities or click on the tab labelled Reception Lockdown 2021 to the left of this page.

As you are going to be super home learners, we would like you to make your very own Superhero Learner character. You could draw it, make it out of items you could find around your home or garden or even dress up as one!

What is your superhero name and your special learning power?

Ask an adult to take a photo and email it to your class teacher.

We have new class email addresses especially for lockdown.

Mrs Hardwick - RB@williamshrewsbury.staffs.sch.uk

Mrs Pearson - RG@williamshrewsbury.staffs.sch.uk

Mrs Rawlings and Mrs Cornell - RR@williamshrewsbury.staffs.sch.uk

We are really looking forward to seeing your creations.

Useful information

Labelling Uniform

Please label all uniform so it can be returned to your child promptly.

PE takes place every day in Reception. Please do not send PE kits into school as we are not getting changed at the moment.

Home School Diaries

Please can you send in your child's Home School Diary every day as we may need to send you a message.

Other Equipment

Please send in a named water bottle for your child everyday filled with fresh water only not juice as keeping hydrated is very good for young brains and good learning. Also make sure your child has a waterproof coat in school everyday. We try and use our outdoor area everyday even if it is a little cold, damp and blowy.
