First week in Reception

Thursday 10 September 2026

Our Reception children have settled in so beautifully and are doing a fantastic job getting to know their new classroom, routines and friends. It’s been wonderful to see how much more confident and comfortable they’re becoming each day!

From Monday 14 September, we’d like to encourage the children to start coming into the classroom independently, as they’re now becoming familiar with the morning routine. This is a lovely next step in helping them to build their confidence, independence and sense of responsibility.

We really appreciate your support with this and know that, together, we can help the children feel proud and confident as they begin their mornings independently. If you ever have any questions, concerns or would simply like to have a chat, please don’t hesitate to speak to us, the door is always open and we’re happy to help.

Here we are exploring our outdoor learning space. We have been looking for objects in our nature areas, riding bikes, gymnastics and playing games.

All children need a pair of wellies leaving at school so they can access the grass area year round.

We have had a little taster of our P.E. sessions this week!

Just a reminder that we will be doing a short P.E. session every day in Reception. The children will not be getting changed for P.E., so please ensure they come to school wearing suitable school uniform and comfortable footwear.

Help at home: Practise undoing buttons, taking off jumpers and putting shoes on and off. These are important skills in children’s development and make a huge difference to their independence.

Thank you for a wonderful first week and all your support.
