Welcome to Reception Class.
The staff are very excited to see you all again.
In our classroom there will be:
Miss Lowry (class teacher)
Mrs Boulton (teaching assistant)
Mrs Kaur (teaching assistant)
Mrs Pawlak (teaching assistant)
Our classroom is all set up and ready to go.
We hope you and your child are as excited as we are about this new chapter in your child’s life. We hope you have been provided with all the information you need, but please ask if you are not sure about anything.
The First Week
After your child’s transition days, school will begin at 8.45 and finish at 3.15.
Please wait by the gate to our outdoor area and one of us will come to greet you.
At the end of the day, please wait at the gate of the Reception outdoor area. In order to ensure your child’s safety, we only let the children out as we see the parent /carer who is collecting them at the end of the day. As we are still getting to know you, this may take a little time at the beginning of the term so please bear with us.
If your child is being collected by somebody else, please tell us or phone the office. We will ask whoever is collecting your child for the password you chose.
Key information
I will post on our class news page every Friday to give you an update on what we have been learning about that week.
Please email in photographs of things that you do out of school with your child. This could be woodland walks, finding shells on the beach, baking etc.
Our class email is: moortowneyfs@spherefederation.org
PE will be on a Friday. Please ensure that your child comes to school in full school PE kit.
Library will be on a Thursday. Please ensure your child comes to school with their library book on this day.
We will assign new reading books on a Thursday. Please make sure your child comes to school with their reading record book on this day.
Dates for your diary
This year we will be offering various opportunities for you to find out more about Early Years at school.
There will be after school meetings with your child’s teacher.
There’ll be stay and learn sessions where you can come into school and be part of a lesson and then find out how you can help at home.
Then, opportunities to pop into school to share your child’s learning journey book with them.
We hope that you can join us for as many of these sessions as possible.
