Foundation Stage

Autumn Term

We would like to welcome our new children and their families to our Reception.  We would like to inform you of our wonderful Reception Team.  Mrs King and Mrs Owen - Class Teachers, Mrs Mallabone, Miss Moore, Miss Bennet, Miss Sweet and Mrs Gill - Teaching Assistants.  We are currently getting to know the children and finding out about what they enjoy doing.  We have lots of exciting activities this half-term.  We are reading the Colour Monster and talking about our feelings and how our actions affect other people.  Daily we are doing many physical activities daily including Busy Feet and the Mile Walk and a weekly session of Rugbytots.  During the second half of the term we will be concentrating on Celebrations such as Bonfire Night, Diwali and Christmas.  During the term we will be carrying out lots of cooking activities to help with maths, physical development and communication and language development.  We look forward to keeping you updated of our learning through the weekly Learning Letter.  

Homework

Homework will be sent out via Tapestry every Friday, along with our weekly learning letter letting you know what they childrens learning focus is each week.  You can take photo's of the homework activities and upload them as observations onto Tapestry.  We will look forward to seeing their work.  This needs to be completed by the following Friday.  

Reading Books

Your child will bring home a new reading book for you to share each Friday.  Can you please record when you have read with your child in their red reading diary along with any observations.  The reading folder needs to be kept in their book bags so that we can read with the children at any opportunity.  The books will be collected in on a Wednesday and changed ready for the new book to come home each Friday. 

Rugbytots

RJO children will be doing Rugbytots each Tuesday and will need to come into school in their PE kits.  RSK children's Rugbytots session will be every Thursday afternoon, so will need to come in their PE kits that day.
