Investors In Pupils (September 2017)

In Reception we have talked about how we would like our classrooms to be and how we expect children (and teachers!) to behave in school. These are our pupil and teacher promises, class vision and class targets.

Teachers: Mrs Ajayi (RA) & Mrs Wilkinson (RW)

Other adults who work in Reception: Miss Waddington (HLTA), Ms Foster, Miss Lawrence, Mrs Abbott, Mrs Campbell, Miss Dale, Miss Ijaz, Miss Jones, Miss McQuillan, Miss Middleton, Miss Sims, Mrs Smith, Ms Urch

Homework: Reading books changed weekly. It would be great if you could hear your child read 3 times a week.
Family Fun Books - half termly activities are suggested and you are welcome to include anything you and your child have enjoyed together including WOW moments. Time is set aside for children to show and tell their family fun books.

PE days: Please ensure your child brings their PE kits to school at the start of each half term.
Both classes have PE on a Wednesday morning this term with Miss O'Brien.

Music days: Singing with Mrs Higgins - Tuesday afternoons.

Scooter Track Day: Reception are welcome to use the scooter track after school, as long as they have parental supervision at all times.

Outdoor Learning: Reception have access to our outdoor area in all weather conditions so please ensure that your child comes to school with a suitable coat and has a pair of wellies. We can get rather messy in Reception (it shows we are learning and having fun) - we have an assortment of spare uniform for such situations. Donations of any old uniforms would be much appreciated.
