Reception 2018/2019

We would like to wish you a big, warm welcome to Reception.

We are thrilled to have met your children and are looking forward to helping them settle into their new classes.

If you have any concerns about your child then please do not hesitate to find a time to come and see us so we can help.

Thank you for taking the time to read this page and keep your eye on it as we will be updating it with news, events and dates for your diary.

Mrs. Fry.

Tapestry

Please do sign up for a tapestry account if you haven't already done so. With a Tapestry account you will be able to observe your child's learning as soon as the teachers upload them to your account. You will also be able to upload any photographs or videos that you would like to share with your child's teacher - the children enjoy sharing things they do at home with the class.

If you have any queries about the Tapestry account or if you would like to sign up please ask you child's class teacher.

Stunning Start

Look what we found in our classroom!

We have been learning about measures in maths. We have looked at longer and shorter than and ordered different lengths. With capacity we have learnt some new words, full, empty, half full, nearly full and nearly empty. We looked at different containers and which ones held the most and the least.

Sharing Our Favourite Books

To celebrate receiving our new book bags and reading books we all got to bring our favourite books to class to share with our new friends. We spent the day exploring where to find books in the classrooms and around school.

All About me!

The children have been learning all about themselves. They started school with a treasure box that they made and filled at home during the summer holidays. In class the children have shared their all about me boxes with each other and with the adults - we have learnt so much about each other! We have also been creating portraits, washing babies, playing in role, and working together as we have made new friends and settled into their school routines.
