Reception - Barn Owls
Welcome to Reception and the Barn Owl Class.
We are looking forward to the year ahead and supporting the children to feel settled and secure in our super new setting. We are excited about helping them to explore their interests and to become independent and creative learners.
The team that will be looking after the class are:
Mrs Thomas – Class Teacher
Mrs Dance- High Level Teaching Assistant
Miss Hawkins – Teaching Assistant am
Mrs Cuffley – Teaching Assistant pm
The Far Field
We go to the Far Field on Monday afternoons. Please could children bring in a change of clothes - trousers, a long sleeved top and wellies. We often get very muddy!
Physical Development
Children will take part in activities that help their physical development every day. We would appreciate it if PE kits could be in all week.
Spots
Spots is excited about going home with the children for visits. He would love to be taken out and about to see the things that you enjoy looking at.
School Library
You are welcome to visit the school library with your child. The library is open from 8:40 each day. Please sign books out and in. We will be visiting the library as a class on Mondays.
Water Bottles
The PTFA kindly provide water bottles for the children in Recption class. These are filled and emptied at school.
Snack Time
Children in Reception and Key Stage One are provided with a snack each day. A selection of fresh fruits and vegetables will be available for them to choose from. A fruit stall is run at break times for the children in Key Stage Two.
Helping the Learning Journey
The Brilliant Board
If your child has been involved in an activity out of school and has something to show us, we would love to display it in the classroom on our special board.
Sticky Notes
If there has been one of those 'wow' moments out of school, if your child has been involved in a special activity or if there is something of interest your child or you would like to let us know about, you could write it on your Post-its. More Post-its are available in school.
