Sharing Together
In Reception we plan our activities and provision around the children’s interests, we always love to hear about what the children are interested in at home too. There is a parent board where the children hang their coats with a section called ‘Parent Pride’ with post-its and pens next to it. Please pop a post-it on the board telling us about anything your child has achieved or has been doing at home. This could be anything from doing their own coat up to riding their bike without stabilizers. We strongly value good communication between parents/carers and school and really appreciate your participation with this.
Reading
When your child is ready they will be sent home with a reading book and a reading record. Please ensure both of these are brought into school every day so that we can read with your child. When you read with your child please record this in their reading record. We encourage this to be as often as possible, all types of reading are advised eg. bedtime stories, magazines, signs, library books.
Snack
In Reception we have rolling snack- during our child initiated learning the children are able to access their own snack (they also wash their plate and cup up themselves!). We provide fruit, water and milk. We ask for a voluntary donation of 20p per day (£1 a week) so that we can provide the children with different foods to try. The children also have their own water bottles which are freshly filled daily.
P.E
P.E sessions are every other Tuesday (on the alternate week the children have a dance lesson). Please ensure your child has their P.E kit in school on Tuesdays.
Spare Clothes
We ask that children are sent into school with spare clothes in case of any accidents or spillages. We are often short of spare clothes for the children so donations of any old clothes are always appreciated too!
Twitter
Keep up to date with what we’re up to by following us on Twitter- we endeavour to tweet regularly so that you can follow your children’s learning journey. Find us at @LillingtonSchyr.
For more detailed information you can download our Starting Reception Booklet.
Thank you for reading. If you need to discuss or share anything at any time, please do not hesitate to come and see us at a mutually convenient time.
We look forward to working together,
