Welcome to Reception's Class Page - Summer Term 1

My name is Miss Inniss and I am the Reception Class teacher.  We also have Miss Rahana and Miss Emily supporting us.

I hope you all had a lovely Easter break.  We are excited by all the events that are coming up over this next half-term.  Our Topic this half-term is 'Stories'.  We will be reading lots of traditional tales, orally retelling stories and writing our own stories using our book focus for the week.  This is a great opportunity for you to visit your local library with your child and take out some of the classic stories such as, 'Whatever Next?', 'The Three Little Pigs', 'Not now Bernard', 'The Rainbow Fish' and 'Little Red Riding Hood'.  The more the stories are read, the more familiar the children will become with them.

Class Fund - The class fund will continue this term.  We will have five weeks before half-term so to pay the class fund for this term in full, this would be £5.  Alternatively, you can provide £1 per week for your child.  The class fund helps us to buy resources for children to use in school.  We will also use the fund for cooking and educational visits.  Any money that is left over will help to fund our end of year trip.

PE - Thursday afternoons - please make sure your child brings in the appropriate clothing.  They should have black jogging bottoms or leggings, a white t-shirt and trainers.  If your child wears tights to school, please make sure that they also have a pair of socks in their bag.

Reading - Please continue to read with your child each day and support them with their weekly homework. 

Homework is set every Friday and needs to be completed by the following Friday.  Book bags are changed every Monday, Wednesday and Friday.  Please send your child to school with their book bag on these days.  If your child's book bag is lost, it is important that you provide them with another one as soon as possible.  Also, please do not forget that your child has access to 'Reading Eggs', 'Mathletics' and 'Education City'.  Encourage your child to access these wonderful resources.  Certificates are given out weekly for participation.

Important Dates:

Reception Class Assembly - Thursday 4th May 2023, 9:15am (please wait at the Junior Playground gates to be let in).

Thank you for your continued support.  If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to speak with Miss Rahana or Miss Inniss.  Kind regards,

Miss Inniss, Miss Rahana and Miss Emily (The Reception Team)
