Covid 19 Daily update

If you are a keyworker and have been given permission for your child to attend school , please ensure there is no other option before sending your child to school.

Gavin Williamson (Secretary of State for Education) has sent out the following message.
“You should only send your child to school if you have to, because your work is critical to our COVID-19 response. If you are able to keep your child at home you should.”

Schools are closed to stop the spread of the virus. Please remember this, children already off school due to the closure should be social distancing and not mixing outside school.

Thank you to all those keyworkers who have sorted additional childcare or only taken up the days they really need to.
If you are a keyworker and have been told that you can bring your child to school but have now been able to sort childcare on all or some of the days offered, please let us know as soon as possible.

The school has the right to and may ask that your employer confirms in writing that, based on their business continuity arrangements, your specific role is necessary for the continuation of this essential public service.

Reception 2019 - 2020

Mrs Hunt

Reception Class Teacher

Mrs Armitage

Welcome to Reception! Mrs Armitage and Mrs Hunt are the class teachers.

We aim to provide a challenging and fun learning environment, both indoors and outdoors, for children to ignite self-curiosity and nurture a life-long love of learning!

Our whole school Spring topic is Timeline: AVisual History of Our World by Peter Goes. In reception we will start by thinking about our own history. What was I like as a baby? How have I changed? What have I learned to do? Please see our Incredible Me topic web for more information about our time discovering our uniqueness! In the second half of the term we will travel back in time to find out all about dinosaurs.

Reading

Reading is at the heart of reception. Children learn to read in a story-rich environment. We share books every day and learn about the world through a range of fiction and non-fiction books. Please see our list of topic based books you can read with your child. In the autumn term, reception will be taught set 1 sounds of the Read Write Inc programme. Read Write Inc (RWI) is a phonics programme which helps all children learn to read fluently and at speed so they can focus on developing their skills in comprehension, vocabulary and spelling. Phonic sessions will be taught at 10.30-11.00 daily.

Maths

Our maths focus for this half term is numbers 1-5. How many different ways can you find the numbers? It could be a house number or a group of flowers!
