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 Spring Term is 'Let's Celebrate.' We will be looking at different celebrations across the world and comparing them. Our focus will be weddings and we look forward to experiencing a Christian wedding at Sketty Community Church in the next few weeks. We will also be learning about Chinese New Year, St David's Day and Easter.
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.
