A warm welcome to Reception!

We hope you had a wonderful Christmas break and would like to wish you all a Happy New Year. We hope you enjoyed making special memories together and the children are feeling refreshed and ready to continue their learning journey.

This term, we will be exploring the questions: 'I wonder what is out there?', 'I wonder who lives there?' and 'I wonder what creeps and crawls?' The children will be provided with opportunities to explore space, cold places, minibeasts and the natural world around them. They will also learn about the history of Chester zoo and we can't wait for our zoo visit! The children will continue to appreciate and celebrate what makes us all special and will be provided with a range of opportunities to engage with and share traditions and celebrations. Sharing books will be at the heart of our learning as we will continue to share a new book every week and we will also begin our secret readers!

In Reception however, we believe in the importance of following the children's interests and curiosities, therefore who knows where their imaginations will take us!

For further information please see our spring term skills and learning overview and our spring newsletter which can be found in 'files to download' at the bottom of this page. You will also find a virtual tour and photographs of our classoom to share with your child.

 

Below is some general information about Reception for 2023/24:

Keeping in touch

We encourage parents to please utilise their Tapestry log in which is our online learning journey in Reception. At the end of each week, an overview of all the exciting things we have engaged in will be uploaded on Tapestry for you to enjoy. There will also be wow moments uploaded throughout the week for individual children and we encourage parents to add their own wow moments from home which can be shared with the class. Please also follow our school twitter account: @MickleTraffSch for further updates of any wow moments.

PE

We will continue to have our weekly formal PE session on a Thursday in the hall. Starting this term, the children are now expected to get changed for PE in school. Please see our spring newsletter for more information.

Homework

We believe in the importance of establishing a strong relationship between home and school. When they are ready, the children in Reception will have weekly homework where they can embed their learning and apply it at home. We ask that completed Homework books are returned to school every Friday where they can be shared and a new challenge can be added, ready to take home at the end of the day. Again, when the children are ready, they will also take home a new phonics book and story book every Friday.

Celebration assembly, #Hotchocolate and Golden Table

As a whole school, a child from each class every week will be chosen to be the star of the week. Parents are invited to join this celebration on Monday afternoons at 2.30pm. If your child is chosen, you will receive a smartmessage/email through School Spider the Thursday prior to the assembly.

During this assembly we will also announce who will be eating their lunch on our golden table. Children are chosen during the week by MDAs, lunchtime coaches and teachers, for displaying excellent behaviour during lunchtimes. These children choose a friend and they both get an early lunch pass to join a member of staff on the golden table.

We also have #Hotchocolate Mondays where children are selected for demonstarting our school values to enjoy a hot chocolate with the headteacher; MrsLyon. This will also be announced and celebrated in Celebration Assembly.

 

Thanks for your support,

The Reception Team
