Reception

We look forward to welcoming you back on Tuesday 2nd September

Look out for updates coming soon ...

What do the children need to bring to Reception?

The children will need to bring:

• a named water bottle pre-filled with fresh water (no juice please)

• an outdoor coat (we try to go outside as much as possible)

• a small morning snack (e.g. sliced fruit, a banana, a breakfast bar)

• a change of clothes (incase of accidents)

• hat and gloves on cold days

• sunhat and suncream when the sun is strong

• a day supply of pull ups/nappies/wipes (if not toilet trained)

• They will need a pair of wellies that are to be left at school as we wear them most days so that we can get out and about around the school grounds.

Meet the Reception Staff

Mrs Rogers is our Reception teacher on a Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday

Mrs Ling is our Reception teacher on a Thursday and Friday

Mrs Jesch is our teaching assisstant. She works every day in reception.

Miss Bebbington is our welfare assistant. She also works at Treetops before and after school.

Things you can do at home together:

• Share a story together every day.

• Play a game which involves listening, counting and taking turns.

• Practice using scissors and cutting out shapes or different lines such as curved or zigzag.

• Use tweezers to pick up and sort objects such as buttons or raisins.

• Use old paintbrushes and water in buckets to 'paint' outside on brick walls/drives/patios.

• Using 'Play-Doh', blue-tack or even a ball of uncooked pastry practice rolling out with a rolling pin, squeezing, stretching or rolling into a ball.

• Add some music and you've got your own 'Dough Disco!'

• Visit the queen of ‘Dough Disco’, Shonette Basin Wood  https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCj0shfH3pzhrf3dOrSj_pRw

We know that starting school can be daunting for parents and children. Please don't hesitate to get in touch if we can help in any way.

Many thanks,

Mrs Rogers and Mrs Ling
