Reception

Welcome to Reception's class page

	Mrs Moran  Reception Learning Support Assistant Hello everybody, I am Mrs Moran and I am really enjoying watching everybody in the foundation unit grow and learn.

Our Routine

The school day begins at 8:45am and the children should come directly to our classroom door to be greeted by staff.  When we arrive in class the children put their belongings away and sit on the carpet for register. Our aim is that the children become as independent as possible so it is their job to remember to hand in their homework and pass on any messages from home.  Every morning the children have 30 minutes Read, Write Inc. We learn new sounds and practise previous sounds. After Read, Write Inc. we have a small carpet time when we begin our adult-led sessions. The children are then given free choice throughout the foundation unit with some adult directed tasks avaliable. Then the children tidy up ready for snack time. Around 11:30 the children tidy up the area they have been choosing in and gather on the carpet ready for story time. Lunchtime begins at 12:15 and ends at 1:15pm. Our afternoon sessions range from exploring the world around us, looking at the past and how things have changed, craft activities, Religious Education and laptop and iPad time. 

PE takes place on Tuesday and Thursday and we ask that children come to school in the PE kits.  

Homework

Please ensure your child brings in their reading books everyday so that we are able to read with your child. Reading books are changed every Tuesday and Friday. Additional books are provided to encourage reading for pleasure as we would like to develop a deep appreciation for books as early as possible, they are known as library books from our class library.
