Welcome to Reception, where there are two classes taught by Mrs Barclay and Miss Snape and supported by Mrs Carter and Mrs Hudson. Our second topic, in the Spring term, is ‘Life on the farm’. You can find our weekly timetable example and curriculum overviews below.

Weekly Timetable

Below is an example of a typical week in Reception.

PE days will be on different days for each class and are subject to change week to week, so please ensure that you have your full PE kit and water bottle in school EVERY day.

Home Learning

If your child is self-isolating, please log into your child’s Microsoft Teams account. For day 1 and day 2 of self-isolation there will be an assignment set for them to complete. From day 3, they will asked to log onto Teams and access the live sessions of the day (the teacher will post a message with the times once they know your child is at home).

If you need a reminder of any log in details, please contact your child’s class teacher. As always, we will be looking for children to be reading at home with their parents or carers. Listening to children read will enable them to grow in confidence as they become fluent readers.

We encourage your child to complete as many of the activities from the homework menu as they like at home, but NO LESS than 3 over the half term. This can be recorded (if appropriate) in our home books. We will ask for homework books on the last Monday of each half term in order for us to share and celebrate the learning.

Here is how we say the sounds of each letter of the alphabet:
