Reception’s Learning Journey

Welcome to Reception!

  "Children learn as they play; most importantly, in play, children learn how to learn." - Fred Donaldson

Welcome to Reception. We are really looking forward to seeing you again. We are very excited to find out all about you and the things you enjoy doing.  Over the school year, we will be reading lots of stories and continuing to find out about transport, life cycles and the seaside. We will work together to complete challenges in both the indoor and outdoor environment and will have lots of fun together. 

Meet the Teachers!

Important information

PE:

Our PE day is Wednesday. Children in Reception have been provided with a red bag, a PE kit and pumps, these will be kept in School until half term. Please wash them over half term and return them ready for the next half term. 

Reading/Planners:

Children in Reception have been provided with a Red bag. Please bring this to school each day. They will also receive a Planner, this will also need to be in school every day. They are checked daily to respond to any messages and to check whether you have read at home with your child. Children will then get a House Point for each time they read. We encourage you to listen to your children read as much as possible. Once they have read five times, children will then be able to pick a prize from our reading prize box. 

We will read with your child three times in the week this book will then be sent home. Reading books will be changed every Thursday Please return books to school on a Thursday and a new book will be sent out on Friday. If you do not return a book that has been given out, unfortunately we will not be able to provide a new book until the original book has been returned.

Personal Belongings:

Please make sure your child's name is in all items belonging to them.
