Welcome to Reception class

Hello and welcome to our class Reception taught by Miss Lugg with support from Miss Matthews. Here you will find the main information and links to our learning. We are excited to watch the children flourish throughout the year!

Class Information

P.E

P.E will take place on a Wednesday. This will begin in Term 2 and children are expected to come in with P.E uniform. This will be black bottoms, white t-shirt and plimsolls. 

Forest school 

This will take place on a Friday from Term 2. School provide overalls and wellies but please make sure that your child brings in a waterproof coat to school that day. 

Reading

Later in the term your child may be allocated reading books. Please read with your child as often as possible. I encourage reading and re-reading the books that are sent home as this will really help develop the children's fluency and understanding.  Children will be read with once a week in school. Children are able to change their books when they need. 

Snacks 

Fruit is provided for all children under 7, to enjoy at breaktimes. The children can choose the fruit and a drink of water or milk. Please do not bring in juice as we just have water or milk.

Tapestry

Tapestry is the online platform that we use for communication. All parents, who are able to access the internet, have a username and password. Please check tapestry daily for information about your child's learning and any other information relating to our class ie. class assemblies or non-uniform days. If you are unable to access Tapestry, please contact Miss Lugg. This is different from the app Arbour that is used for communication within school ie. booking on to an afterschool club.

Drawing Club

This year we are pleased to announce that we will do Drawing Club to teach English. It was created by a practitioner called Greg Bottrill and it brings the magic of story into the classroom. It is a way to share skills including fine motor, early writing, vocabulary, maths and most importantly, imagination and excitement!
