Croeso - Welcome to Reception
Hello and welcome!
The children have had a brilliant first week exploring their new classroom and playground. They are settling in wonderfully well and have had many new routines to learn. The children have all done so well and we are very proud of them! We have really enjoyed getting to know them all and discovering their likes and dislikes.
Below you will find some useful information for this exciting start to school life. We will be sending a class newsletter home with your child on Friday with an overview of the half-term and additional useful information.
The Newsletter can also be accessed HERE.

Snack
We have snack time every morning in class. Please see Friday’s email for information on how to sign up your child to our school fruit tuck club. This will start on Monday 13th September so your child will need to bring a fruit snack each day for the first week of term. Alternatively, you can send in your child each day with a fruit snack instead of signing up to the club. There will be milk and water freely available.
Water bottle
Please send your child into school each day with a labelled water bottle. We will be sending home these bottles each evening to be washed at home, refilled and then returned to school the following day. The water bottle needs to be filled with water. No squash or juice please!
P.E
Our weekly P.E session is on a Wednesday. The children will need to come into school on a Wednesday wearing their full P.E kit with a jumper and trainers. They will not be able to get changed in school.
Spare Clothes
A spare change of clothes (e.g. pants and socks, trousers/skirt, t-shirt…) will be very useful. Please send the clothes in a small named drawstring bag and we will keep this on your child’s peg in case your child needs a change of clothes during the day.
coat
Please send your child in with a raincoat every day. The weather is very changeable, so a sunny early morning can quickly turn into a rainy day.
