| Welcome to our Reception class page! We are really looking forward to welcoming the pupils into our setting. We have lots of exciting opportunities planned to build up the children’s love of learning and for you to see what we get up to! Our Reception environment is designed to capture the imagination of our pupils and encourage exploration to develop curiosity. We encourage children to develop independence and confidence within a safe and friendly atmosphere. We strive for children to have a positive growth mind set towards their learning, for them to internalise motivation, challenge themselves and feel proud of their successes. Our Reception team are here to support your child to fly high in their first year of school and achieve their goals.

How can I support my child at home?
We will set a weekly phonics homework sheet on Tapestry that mirrors our teaching in school. This is not compulsory but is there if you would like to access our phonics learning at home.
We also ask you to give your child lots of opportunities to practise getting dressed independently, ready for our PE sessions.
Reading at home
All pupils have a reading folder, containing a reading book and a reading record.
If possible, we would like all children to read at home, at least 3 times per week.
Please ensure the children bring in their reading folder with their reading record and book every day.
Reading Records
These should be used by parents and pupils to capture the individual child’s reading journey. When you hear your child read, please record this in the reading record.
