Welcome to EYFS!

Welcome to Reception Class

Dear Families,

I hope you’ve all had a wonderful Summer holidays and the children (and you!) are all feeling ready to start a new chapter tomorrow. Mrs Patterson, Mrs McCluskey and myself are all very much looking forward to welcoming the children in tomorrow.

We will collect the children the same as we did for their transition days from the gate which will open at 8:45 and close at 8:55. If you are past this time, please go to the office. Just to let you know that Year 1 will also be coming in/going home through this gate incase you wonder why it may look busier than usual!

A reminder that the children will be only be in for the mornings this week so please come back to the same gate at 12pm for collection on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday. From Monday, they will be in all day (8:45 – 3:20).

Children will all be shown their trays and lockers over the first few days. As mentioned before, if you would like to send spare clothes in to stay at school, please pop them in a separate bag and remind your children that these are to be left in their lockers. We will send bookbags home over the next couple of weeks.

All your children will need for the first few days will be a water bottle and weather appropriate clothing for outdoor play (with our weather, this may be a sunhat or a rain coat!!). Snack is provided for the children. If you would like to send them in with a snack, please ensure that this is only a piece of fruit or vegetable. We also ask that water bottles contain water only.

Finally, I would like to invite you to a ‘Meet the Teacher’ session on Tuesday 16th September at 5pm where I will explain how to use tapestry and details of our curriculum/timetable. This meeting will be no longer than 30 minutes.

We will not start PE until after our meet the teacher session so please do not worry about PE kits for the first few weeks!!

If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to ask. 

Best wishes

Miss Tims
