Reception News – 12.9.25

We have had a lovely first full week in Reception. The children are settling in well and making new friends. We have been busy getting to know your child and finding out about everything they know. In a morning, they are coming in independently and trying hard to remember to put their fruit and water bottle away and find their self-registration name.

EyLog

Parents new to school should have recieved notification about their EyLog account. Please do check in your junk folder too. If you have any problems setting this up then please let us know.

PE

PE starts next week – Thursday 18th September. Please make sure your child comes to school in their PE kit. The children will not need any pumps as they will start with indoor PE.

Bags

Please make sure your child only brings their red bag to school every day. They may put one small key ring on their book bag to help them find it at home time. We don’t need any rucksacks as we simply don’t have the space. If you would like to leave a change of clothes on your child’s bag then please do in a labelled carrier bag.

Reception Baseline Assessment

Over the next two weeks, we will be completing the Reception Baseline Assessment. Please see the leaflet below for more information.

The Colour Monster

Our book this half term is The Colour Monster by Anna Llenas. The children are enjoying listening to the story and had fun making their own colour monsters. We have talked about our feelings when we started school. We have thought about what makes us happy and created our own happy monster.

Exploring the school grounds

This week we have enjoyed exploring the school grounds. The children found lots of fruit and vegetables growing – squash, onions, carrots, sweetcorn, tomatoes, pumpkins and apples! We also saw the chickens and pigs.
