  • A warm coat 
  • PE Kit - to be kept in school and taken home to be washed half termly.

Important information 

  • PE is on a Tuesday 
  • Blue books will be checked daily. We ask that children are reading 3 times a week at home, as a minimum. Please write a comment and sign the blue books each time the children have read.

Reading Volunteers?

We are also looking for parent/carer volunteers who would like to come into school weekly, to read with the children. Please contact the office or speak to Miss Toolin or Miss Holyoak if you are interested. If selected, one of the children you will read with will be your own child. Training will be provided. Please note that, before starting, a full (enhanced) DBS check is needed for all adults accepted as volunteers in school.

 

Autumn 1

Our topic: Me, Myself and I

Our core books: The Go Away Bird, Goldilocks and the Three Bears, The Smeds and The Smoos

 A busy Autumn term in Reception

Our Reception class have had a wonderful start to the year! The children have settled in incredibly well and have been busy exploring our classroom, leaning about our class rules and learning through lots of fun activities. 

This term, we've been learning all about ourselves, our families, and our feelings. We have explored our core books and even enjoyed our very own Smeds and Smoos party! We've also been exploring the world around us. We had an amazing trip to Grangetown Park and even went on a walk to Asda to pick some pumpkins. 

We have also been developing our early literacy and numeracy skills. We've been practicing our sounds in Monster Phonics, writing our names, and learning our numbers to 5. 

We're so proud of how far the children have come in such a short time and we're looking forward to many more exciting learning experiences in Autumn 2!
