We’ve started to welcome children into Rainbow and Sunshine Class this week. All of the children are settling in brilliantly and have been superstars! We hope they’ve had lots of exciting news to share with you. We look forward to welcoming the rest of Reception, on Monday.
PE; Days and Swimming
Reception’s PE days are Wednesday and Friday. Please send your child to school in their PE kits on these days, including on days when they will be swimming.
Swimming will begin in week 3. Children swim fortnightly. Please send your child with a swimsuit/swim shorts, a towel and goggles if needed. You do not need to send floatation supports.
Swimming Dates:
Rainbow Class- 20 September, 4 October, 18 October
Sunshine Class- 27 September, 11 October, 25 October
Bookbags, spare clothes and wellies
Please send your child with their bookbag each day. Please also send a pair of wellies and a bag of spare clothes/underwear that can be left at school. We will send this home if it needs washing or replacing.
Please double check that all of your child’s school items are labelled with their name.
Dates for your diary (sent home on your child’s first day)
This year we will be offering various opportunities for you to find out more about Early Years at school. There will be after school meetings with your child’s teacher. There’ll be stay and learn sessions where you can come into school and be part of a lesson and then find out how you can help at home.
Then, opportunities to pop into school to share your child’s learning journey book with them. We hope that you can join us for as many of these sessions as possible.
