Reception

Welcome to Reception 2020-21

Welcome back everyone. It is amazing to think we are starting the Summer Term. Hopefully, the weather will stay warm. Please make sure you send children to school with a waterproof coat, sun hat and water bottle.

If you do need to self isolate, please look at Home Learning in Reception tab on the left of the page. There you will find all the learning for the week.

As we are back in school, the blue diaries will be checked everyday. Therefore If you need to contact your child's class teacher please put messages in the diary and not email as these will not be checked. It is difficult to speak to staff at pick up and drop off times due to social distancing..

Have a look at our Reception Weekly News tab on the left to find out what Reception Children have been up to.

Reception are now also using twitter so please follow our adventures - @WilliamShrews

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.
