Reception

Welcome to Reception class!

Reception are taught by Miss Fleming and teaching assistant Mrs Park-Russell.

We will be following the new Early Years Framework which has an emphasis on learning through play. Activities will be planned for based on the children's needs and interests.

Read Write Inc - We will use the Read Write Inc (RWI) reading scheme, this has proved a successful scheme and children tend to progress well through the levels. They will start by learning their initial sounds as a class, assessments are done half termly, following the assessments, pupils will begin to move groups. They will come home with the initial sounds being taught in school, to practice at home. High frequency words and red words will also be added as and when they are exposed to them. As they move through the scheme, they will bring home a reading book that matches the level at which they are working for RWI. One book will come home a week but they will also get a number of high frequency words to learn. We ask that you practice these at home each night too.
PE - PE will take place on a Thursday. Children should come to school in their PE kit instead of school uniform on PE days. They are welcome to wear tracksuit bottoms as the weather gets colder & a top to keep them warm.
Water Bottles - Children are all allowed a water bottle in school, we ask that these are labelled, we will empty these and refill each day.

Can all children remember to bring a coat as we will be spending a proportion of time outside in our newly developed outdoor area, we will go out even if it is drizzling.

We will be using Showbie to record the childrens work and progress towards the Early Learning Goals. This platform allows you to see the work that is done in class as this is an app that we use throughout the school to record work on. There will be a 'Home' folders where you can upload photos to show any wow moments that take place at home, for example, riding their bike or gaining a swimming certificate.

The school website and Facebook page will also be kept up to date with events that take place in school.

If you have any questions please do not hesitate to get in touch.
Miss Fleming.
