Welcome to Reception!
We’ve welcomed our first two groups of children into class this week. We are so proud of how everyone is settling in, getting to know their new classrooms and their new friends.
Here is a little sneek peek of the classrooms, for the children starting on Monday- we can’t wait for you to join us!
The teachers have been busy playing in different areas of the classroom- Who can you see? Where are they playing?
PE Days
PE will start next week. Please send your child to school in their PE kit on Wednesday and Friday.
Swimming kits are not yet needed, we will send a message out when you need to start sending the kit and a list of dates that your child will be swimming.
Wellies and spare clothes
Don’t forget to bring your school wellies and a bag of spare clothes/underwear to keep in school. Thank you to parents and carers who have already provided these.
Family photo
We will soon be talking and learning about different families. To support our learning, please send in a photo of your child with their family. You can send in a copy of your photo or email it to:
scholesreception@spherefederation.org
Dates for your diary
This year we will be offering various opportunities for you to find out more about Early Years at school.
There will be after school meetings with your child’s teacher.
There’ll be stay and learn sessions where you can come into school and be part of a lesson and then find out how you can help at home.
Then, opportunities to pop into school to share your child’s learning journey book with them.
We hope that you can join us for as many of these sessions as possible.
