Welcome to Reception!

Welcome to Reception! We have lots of fun learning opportunities planned throughout the year and we are looking forward to getting to know your children.

Please ensure your child brings their bookbag to school with their reading book inside. Reading books will be changed weekly. Please remember to listen to your child read for at least 5 minutes per day. Your child has also been given a homework book with activities set inside.

Please ensure your child has a named water bottle.

PE days are Tuesday (indoor) and Friday (outdoor)

Your child should arrive to school in their PE kit, suitable for the weather and appropriate for indoor or outdoor PE sessions.
