Welcome to Reception

Hello everyone and welcome to Sandbach Primary Academy Reception class. We are so excited to work with you and your children and get to know all about you and your family. The Reception team are;  

Mr Rogers - I have worked at Sandbach Primary Academy since 2017 and have worked in education for over 20 years. I am excited to be back with Reception class this year!

Summer term  

This term we are so excited to develop our learning further with Reception class. We will read a variety of books including our main text 'Jack & The Bean Stalk'. We will explore shapes and numbers up to 20. We will also continue learning words and sounds to read. We will make the most of the summer weather by learning and playing outside as much as possible - please apply sun cream before school on hot days. If you put suncream on your child's bag, we will 

We hope you are all as excited as we are for the Summer term. If you have any questions, EYFS adults will be at the door every morning to welcome the children as well as at the end of the day.  

General Reminders

• Drop off and pick up; your child will enter through the Reception class door, hang up their belongings and go into class. Adults should not come through the doors; we encourage children to be independent and come inside without their adult. At home time, Mr Rogers will dismiss children one at a time to their parent or carer. If there is a change to which adult will be collecting your child, you must communicate this officially to the school office.
• Please read with your child at home as often as possible. This is a great time to bond with your child and create a love for books and reading.
• PE will be every Wednesday with our sports coach, so please ensure children come to school in their 'Fit Kit' on that day.
• We encourage all children to bring in their own refilable water bottles from home which they can access and refill throughout the day.
• All children will recieve free snack each day. This will consist of fresh fruit, milk and water. In addition children can purchase school snack which is priced at 10p per day. 
• READING - Ebooks will be added to the online digital library. These books will be the same book that your child is reading in school and they should be able to read this independently.
• In addition, your child will also come home with a school library book to share together at bedtime. We do not expect them to be able to read this book themselves. They choose books which interest them for you to read to them. We hope you enjoy this special time together.
