Introduction
Welcome to Reception. The children have done so well and have settled in beautifully. Their confidence is growing and they are taking all of the new ex-periences in their stride.
We will continue to use the community room door at the start and end of the day. This is to ensure the children's safety at all times. Thank you for your patience as we get to know your faces. We are nearly there!
We have milk and fruit daily, so there is no need to send in additional fruit snacks. Can you make sure all children have coats in school everyday.
Zone Boards
The zone board is used to encourage good
behaviour. Children start each day on the Blue
Sky and have the opportunity throughout the day
to move up the board towards Out of this World.
This is recognised each day with house point re-
wards and a dip in the class prize box.
Children may be moved to Amber or Red Zone if
they cannot make the correct choice after a
warning. This is monitored by the class teacher
and Assistant Headteacher responsible for the
Key Stage.
Homework
The focus for this half terms is to settle the children
into their new routines and part of this process in to
also build Home/School links. Identifying ways that
you can support your child’s learning at home. We will
be sending weekly reading books home with your
child. We will also be sending practical homework
type activities home to help support children's learning
in class. These will begin in the next few weeks.
Please look out for information in your child's book
bag.
P.E
All children will need a P.E Kit. We have most of them
in now, nut if you haven't sent one in, please do so
ASAP. This term we will have Coach Justine. Our PE
days are Tuesdays and Thursdays. For Health and
Safely Reasons, if your child has pierced ears they
will be required to remove their earrings. If they can’t
do this themselves, they will be covered using mi-
cropore tape.
Reading
We would really appreciate
your support in reading with
your child little and often. This
develops the children’s
vocabulary and experiences,
which feeds directly into their
writing. Children have their
reading diaries checked
regularly and for every third
time they read at home they
will receive a house point.
Concerns
If you need to speak to us, the best time would be at
the end of the day. You can leave a message with a
member of the Senior Leadership Team who are on
door duty in the morning.
Communication and Language We will focus on: Listening to each other Asking questions Taking turns
Trips and Visits
We will be organising an educational visit once the chil-
dren are settled exploring our local area looking at
where we live and discussing our journeys to school.

formance of Kippers Snowy Day.
In Autumn 2, we willbe organising a trip to a local farm.
