Welcome to Reception 2021-2022
Welcome to Reception everyone. We are all very excited to welcome you into our new Reception area. We are ready to learn and play and hope you are too.

If your child is isolating this week, please have a look at the bottom of this page to download activities to help your child while at home. Share lots of books, tell lots of stories and play lots of games. The following videos show the letter sounds [phonemes] we were concentrating on last week.
Letter 's', Letter 'a', Letter 't'
In Maths, we are learning all about 1 2 3!

Useful information
Labelling Uniform
Please label all uniform so it can be returned to your child promptly.
PE
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.
