Reception 2024 - 2025
Mr McCulloch
Mrs McHale
Miss Martin
Welcome to the Reception class page.
Firstly, a big Happy New Year. We will do everything we can to continue to support your family and your child on their journey with us throughout their Reception year. This half term we will continue to use Tapestry to keep you updated, and we would love to see everthing you have been doing at home too.
If anyone isn't sure, our start time is at 8:40 am, and our day finishes at 3:10pm.
Snack money should be paid weekly into class and costs £1.00 - although this is a voluntary contribution, it helps not only to pay for snack each week, but also to provide different foods for children to try, different and exciting learning experiences, and resources for your children.
Our Topic.
This half term, our topic will be based around the text 'The Storm Whale' by Benji Davies. We will be looking at the difference in places compared to where we live, lighthouses, different sea creatures and being a good friend.
Forest School
Forest School takes place every Monday afternoon - Please ensure that all children have wellies and old/waterproof clothes at school, children should come to school in appopriate outdoor clothing as we will be outside rain or shine! Little word of warning here - we might come home a little bit muddy, but always with a huge smile on our faces!
PE:
Although Reception's PE Session is on Thursday afternoon, please make sure that your child has their full PE kit in school every day. We will send home PE kits at half term to be washed.
Water bottles:
Can children please bring in their water bottle every day.
Please remember to put name labels in ALL items of school uniform, things do go missing throughout the year and as much as we endeavour to keep track of things, they do go missing from time to time.
