    Our class

    Welcome to reception!

    We have settled well into school and we are enjoying our learning. We learn through play and structured activities in our classrooms and outdoor area.

    Our Teachers are:

    Robins: Miss. O'Hara

    Sparrows: Mrs. Nagy

    Nightingales: Mrs. Schofield

    Our Teaching assistants are:

    Robins: Miss. Bancroft

    Sparrows: Mrs. Seedat

    Nightingales: Mrs. Mitha

    Miss. Rutlidge and Mrs. Qureshi work between the Robins and Sparrows classes.

    Reminders!

    PE

    The PE days for the Autumn term will be Thursday and Friday for Sparrows and Robins. Please ensure your child has their PE kit, including pumps, in school and that earrings are removed on PE days. Please ensure that all school uniform and PE kit is labelled as this helps us to give items back quickly to children if they get mixed up.

    Reading 

    In a few weeks time we will send home reading books with some additional information for yourselves. Following this:

    The children will complete a reading session each week with a member of staff in school. Home reading books will be changed on a Monday, Wednesday and Friday. We ask parents to read with their child each night for 5 minutes and fill in the reading diary. This alerts staff that the book has been completed and then can be changed.

    Step Outside to Quality

    Last year we were awarded a Lancashire Accreditation for outdoor Learning. The staff and children worked very hard to make the Reception outdoor space an exciting and dynamic place to learn!

    Please have look at our outside learning pamphlet and pictures.

    Dojo

    Dojo is a brilliant communication tool that we use in school. School announcements, celebrations and additional optional learning activities will be sent via the platform.

    Please remember to check your child's class Dojo page. If you have any issues logging on to Dojo, please see your child's class teacher.
