Reception - Derbynfa
Welcome to the Reception Noticeboard
We hope you find the following information and photographs useful for keeping up to date with what is happening in your child's class.
Our current topic for the Summer Term is 'Sun, Sea and Sandy Toes.' We will be learning how to stay safe at the beach, which creatures can be found at the seaside and learning about materials. The children will be designing their own boats using recycled materials and testing them to see which will float and sink. Lots of exciting activities to come, including a visit to the beach as well.
Please check back each week for updates.
PE - Fridays
SKIP club - After school on Thursdays
A few reminders, please could you...
1. Label children's clothes clearly, especially jumpers and coats.
2. Label water bottles.
3. Supply a spare set of clothes in a separate bag to leave in school in case of accidents. Please could the bag be labelled, carrier bags are fine.
4. Bring a pair of labelled wellies that you are happy to leave in school.
The children have a fruit snack twice a day. As we are a healthy and nut free school, can you only provide fruit as a snack. Please make sure the fruit/pots are labelled as well.
