Welcome to the Reception web page. If you have any concerns or queries, do not hesitate to get in touch with the school.

On this page you can find:

- Links to phonics support, such as phase sheets and harder to read and spell sheets, which we hope will guide you in supporting your child's phonics learning;

- Handwriting rhymes to allow you to support your child's letter formation when practicing sentence writing at home;

- Information about our curriculum and learning, including an overview of our current topic.

This half term we are learning about keeping Healthy and how to keep our bodies and minds happy and healthy. We continue to develop our listening skills using our four listening rules to help us. Children will continue to develop their social and emotional skills, leaning to share, take turns and develop positive friendships as well as recognise and celebrate personal strengths and achievements. We will  continue rewarding good behaviour choices through our behaviour  system.  As a school we will  recognise and celebrate these important events  - World Book Day, Mothers Day and Lent.  Don't forget to check Evidence Me each week to find out more about what is happening in Reception.

Home Reading- All children in Reception have a clear communication folder which holds their reading diary and weekly books. Children receive 2 books weekly; an independent book marked with an 'I', these are books children should be confident to read without support and a supported book marked with an 'S', these are books you may need to help your child with. Children will also bring home a library book each week for you to share. Please return the communication folder to school each Monday morning with the reading diary and 2 books, these will be returned to you on Tuesday afternoon. We ask that children read each school reading book a minimum of 3 times weekly at home and record these reads in their Reading Diary. There are also additional books shared on Oxford Owl so please see Evidence Me for details. We will also give children the opportunity to select a reading for pleasure book to bring home.

Home Learning Maths - This half term you and your child will be able to engage in the Mastering Number at Home program. Each week your child will be bringing home some fun games to play with you. Please return these on a Monday in the Communication folder.

PE - Reception have PE  on a Tuesday. Please send your child to school in their kit on these days - all PE lessons will be outdoors (weather permitting) so you may wish to consider your child having a tracksuit for the day. Please make sure all earrings are removed or covered with tape before school on these days.
