Preparing for Reception
Each week we will include a tip to help prepare your child for reception; although it seems a long way off the summer term will shortly pass and September will be here before we know it!
Tip of the week:
This week the tip is to support your child to retell a story in their own words. Whilst the children haven’t learnt how to read yet, they can use their understanding of the pictures in a storybook to help them retell a story in their own words.
Choose a book to read several times with your child asking open questions and encouraging them to make predictions throughout the story. The next time they come to read it, encourage them to use their own words along with the pictures to retell the story
Focus child Meetings
Each week children will be chosen to be observed by their keyworker. Emails will be sent home to inform parents of the upcoming parent meeting taking place the following week, either in person or via telephone. Parents will have an opportunity to complete a form asking questions and sharing concerns they may have for the key worker to answer during the parent meeting. This form will be sent via email. Please check your emails weekly for school communications and evidence me parents share from your children's teachers. Parents are welcome to upload pictures and videos of their children at home.
