Reception Class Weekly Update
Welcome back to school! It’s been a lovely few days as we kick off the first week after the summer holidays. Our Reception children have settled in beautifully and have been an absolute delight to have in class!
One of the highlights this week has been lunchtime—our little ones have really enjoyed eating together in school and are proving to be fantastic eaters! It’s wonderful to see their independence growing every day, from managing their own coats to trying new foods with confidence.
From next week, the children will be starting full-time school hours and will need to be picked up at 3:20pm. Also, please note that starting next week, all children will need to bring 2 pieces of fruit for snack time instead of one. 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.
We want to thank all our families for your patience, kindness, and support during this settling-in period. If you have any questions or concerns, please don’t hesitate to reach out via Dojo—we’re here to help and support you however we can.
We’re so excited for another amazing week ahead with your wonderful children!
A letter has been sent home with your child today containing important information and key dates, so please keep an eye out for it in their bags.
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.
Diolch,
The Reception Team
