Autumn 1 Learning

Reception Baseline Assessment Parent Leaflet

Please see link below to take to you the 50 things project and app that you can download for free.

Try out the app and see what activities you can find! 

Useful Links and information 

Please see links attached below which have been recommended by the Early Years Team. The Cbeebies link has lots of useful ideas to try at home with your child, information and advice for parents. A handy tool! 

Another useful link is the Cbeebies Alphablocks and Numberblocks shows. They are lots of fabulous clips on BBC iplayer which are used in school to help visualise and build numbers. Please do share and take a look at home with your child. 

Finally is the 'Activity Passport' for children which has been released by the Government with a list of recommended activities and learning opportunities for children to experience at each age and stage. Please do try these at home. 

Key Information

  • PE days are Thursday . Please come into school wearing the appropriate kit.

  • Forest Schools are planned on Wednesday afternoons. Wellies and waterproof coats are needed. A letter and information about a start date will follow. 
  • Please ensure all clothing is labelled.
  • Lunch - we like to encourage healthy lunch choices avoiding items such as chocolate and sweets in lunch boxes. If your child is having a hot dinner then please discuss the menu so that they know whether to choose the Meat, Vegetarian or Pick n Mix options.
  • Extra snack can be brought in for morning break time- fruit or vegetables only.
  • Guided reading will be completed as a whole class session two- three times a week. 
  • 1:1 reading will be completed on a rota with adults in class.
  • During better weather please ensure that your child has SPF and a sunhat. We state that SPF must be put on your child before school. 
  • In the winter months please ensure your child has a suitable jacket along with hats and gloves too.
  • On PE days the children will also have access to the play equipment on the field (weather permitting). 

All About Me Boxes

Don't forget to bring in your Summer/All about me boxes into school next week as we would love to see all of the things that are important to you at home. Photos of your family and friends are welcome so we can display these with pride in our classroom. 

Looking forward to seeing you at the start of term.
