       If you have any questions about reading expectations or routines in Reception, please speak to your class teacher.

 

      You will be receiving a letter about Parents evening which will be taking place on Monday 17th October or Wednesday 19th September.  This will be an opportunity for you to discuss how your child is settling in.  

 

      Thank you for your patience with the one way system at the end of the day, we know you appreciate how difficult it would be if we had parents entering and exiting using the EYFS ramp.  Furthermore, could you please ensure you are supervising your children at the end of the day.  They should not be using any of the play equipment after school hours.

 

      Please, please, please send in spare clothes and wellington boots for your child.  We have had a number of children having toileting accidents and we are running out of spare clothes.

 

      If you would like to contact a member of the EYFS team via email the address is eyfs@broadford.havering.sch.uk

 

      Kind regards

The Reception Team
