Reception Morning routine

 

Dear Reception parents and carers, 

Thank you for your support in settling the children into reception. 

The children have settled into the morning routine very well. We would like to encourage parents to drop their children at the door and let them put their coats and bags away independently. 

Our goal for the remainder of the term is for the children to be capable of managing their own personal items. Please encourage your child to put their personal belongings in the correct place to assist us. The children’s pegs and trays are clearly labelled with their name and picture. 

There will always be a teacher on the door to welcome the children and a member of staff available if children need any guidance when putting their belongings away. 

If you have any questions or concerns please speak to your child’s class teacher at the end of the day.

Thank you for your co-operation.

Kind Regards,

The Reception Team.

Nursery: Our learning journey this week- 25th September 2023

The children have had their first full week of sessions this week and we have really enjoyed meeting the chidren and families. We are impressed with how well the children have been settling into their new environment. They been enjoying creating dinner parties in the home corner, enjoying bagels and fruit for snacks, creating masterpieces  in the art area and spending time in the outside area. It has been lovely to watch the children start to develop relationships with staff and also start to make friends and join in with other children in the setting.  

Thank you to all of the parents for supporting us to ensure the children have a smooth start to their Nursery year and for being patient at home time whilst staff learn new faces and names.

Please ensure that you are on time for the start and end of sessions. The doors will close at 8.45am in the morning.

Evidence Me

Over the next month we will start sharing observations on our parent share app. Please do add your own videos and photos from home as parents can also share achievements. 

Spare Clothes 

Please leave a bag of spare clothes in Nursery, ideally this will be a labelled plastic bag as their is not much peg space. This bag should stay in school.

Our learning journey this week:

We would like to thank all parents and careers for your support during this settling period. The children have been amazing during the transition period and we are all very proud of them. The children have been busy building bonds with teachers and creating relationships with their classmates. We can already see some strong friendships taking place.

The children have loved exploring the nursery environment, especially the independent  access to resources. 

First Week of Reception!

 Well to done to all of the children who have completed their first full week in Reception! 

This week, children have been learning about the routines and expectations at school, as well as meeting lots of new friends that they will develop friendships with in the coming months. We have introduced our first five phonics sounds (m, a, s, d, t) and have been practising our speaking and listening skills on the carpet during story time. 

Have a look at some of the fun we've all been up to!
