We know our parent partners are missing being able to come into the classroom and share learning with your child- we are missing having you in the classroom too!
We really value home-school communication and have been thinking of ways to share more of the classroom with you, given the current restrictions.
Here are the ways we will be ‘keeping in touch’ or sharing with you :
- The last week of each half term you will receive a collage of pictures of your child playing and learning.
- During the school year, your child will become a ‘focus child’ for a week. We ask for current interests and an up-to-date view of your child and we have a ‘catch up’ meeting at the end of the week to talk about progress and what we have noticed. The dates of your child’s focus week will be sent in advance. There will be more information on this in our upcoming Parent Partners presentation.
- Parent presentations which would usually be face-to-face throughout the school year, will be provided through either a screencast or powerpoint slides for you to read at home. These will be posted to the class news page.
- Class News will be posted regularly, to help you keep up-to-date on classroom learning.
- Our Parent Partnership board in the classroom holds a postcard for each child, with notes on current interests both in school and those you share with us from home. We also display emails and photos from home on this board.
We are available to talk to about concerns or questions via email, telephone or in person at the end of the school day and we really love it when you send WOW moments of learning at home or photos of interests, trips or days out. Thank you to those who have already sent emails in.
We look forward to continued partnership with you, throughout the school year.
The Reception Team.
