We hope you have had a wonderful summer holiday and are looking forward to an exciting year ahead.
In Reception, we are active learners. Throughout the autumn term, we will support your child in settling into their new environment and routines, while introducing them to a wide range of exciting learning opportunities. Children will have many opportunities to develop their curiosity, critical thinking and independence through exploration and active learning. This approach will continue throughout their time in Reception.
For more information about your child's learning, please see our Curriculum Overview.
Throughout the year, children will experience a balance of adult-led and child-initiated learning opportunities, both indoors and outdoors.
Wild Tribe
Outdoor learning is an important part of our curriculum, and we ask that your child brings a suitable coat to school every day, whatever the weather. Your child will also take part in weekly Wild Tribe sessions, where they will explore the outdoors through exciting woodland-based activities.
On Wild Tribe days, please send your child to school with additional clothing suitable for climbing, exploring and getting muddy. This should include waterproof clothing and extra layers during colder weather. Children are encouraged to develop independence when getting changed for Wild Tribe, so please practise this at home.
We will begin Wild Tribe sessions once the children are settled into their Reception routines.
P.E
Your child will also have two PE lessons each week. On PE days, children should come to school wearing their full PE kit, in line with the uniform guidelines shared in your induction pack and available on the school website.
Reception PE Days: Monday and Wednesday
We kindly ask that all of your child's belongings are clearly labelled with their name. Jewellery should not be worn in school, except for small stud earrings. In line with health and safety guidance, earrings must not be worn on PE days, as children will not be able to take part in PE if they are wearing them.
Please ensure your child brings a named water bottle to school every day. We ask that bottles are not made of metal, as these can be heavy for young children to carry. Water bottles should contain water only.
Morning toast will be available until the close of the register, and children will also be offered a piece of fruit for their morning snack. A separate letter regarding school milk will be sent out shortly.
We are proud to offer a wide range of after-school clubs each term. Information about our Autumn Term clubs will be sent out during the first few weeks of term.
We are looking forward to a happy, successful and fun-filled year of learning, building positive relationships with all children and working closely with families. Over the coming weeks, we will share information about a range of parent workshops designed to support you in helping your child’s learning at home.
If you have any questions or concerns, we operate an open-door policy, so please do not hesitate to speak to a member of the Reception team at drop-off or collection.
