Water bottles
All children must bring in a water bottle, clearly labelled with their name. These will be used by the children throughout the day, so please try and ensure that they are able to open these independently. These will be sent home each afternoon for cleaning and refilling for the following day. Please encourage your child to take responsibility for remembering their water bottle every day
Clothing
Please send in your children with suitable clothing and footwear for learning and playing in all day. During the summer months, please ensure your child wears items that cover their shoulders, as well as coming in with sun cream already applied.
PACT Bags/Show and tell
Please make sure that your child brings in their PACT bag on their reading day every week. We will provide bags for children new to the school. This will also be their Show and Tell day where we encourage them to bring in something from home to talk about in front of the class
Curriculum
We follow the Early Years Foundation Stage Framework.
Phonics
We hope you found the phonics session useful. Please see link for powerpoint and videos

How you can Help
We welcome parents and carers to come in and work with the children at any time (gardening, cooking, reading or playing). Please let your child’s class teacher know when you wish to come in. We will also put up a Story time list when the children are settled.
PPA cover – All teachers are required by law to have Planning, Preparation and Assessment (PPA) time during the week. This is usually covered by the same person every week to ensure consistency for the children. The PPA cover for Reception will be Celia Dubner
Medicines – If your child requires an inhaler, EpiPen, or any other regular medication, please could you ensure the school has two of each medication from day one, as we will require one for the classroom and one for the school medical room
