Reception 2025 - 2026
Mr Rogers
Welcome to Reception
We are absolutely delighted to extend a warm welcome to you and your children as they embark on a wonderful adventure of learning with us. Your child will be supported by their class teacher Mr Rogers and supported by Mrs Ozdilek. They will also work with Mrs Whiteway and members of the Nursery team.
To make sure your child has a fantastic experience, here are some important details:
- Drop off and pick up - your child will enter through the Reception class side door on their own. We kindly ask adults not to come through the classroom doors. 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 inform the school office.
- Reading Together - Reading is a cornerstone of learning. We celebrate children who read at home in class. Don't forget to record these moments in the reading log provided. Reading together is a small step that makes a big difference!
- Reading books - your child will come home on a Monday with a 'Reading for Pleasure' book to share together at home. This is book for you to read and share with your child at those special times. They will also bring home a decodable 'Big Cat' reading book. This book will match the graphemes and tricky words that we have learnt in group reading and phonics.
- PE - Every Tuesday with our sports coach, children should come to school in their PE kit on that day.
- Stay hydrated - Remember to send your child with a refillable water bottle everyday - please only fill these bottles with water.
- Snack - All children will receive free snack each day - fresh fruit, milk and water. In addition, children can purchase school hot snack for 20p - 30p per day. Please click here for more information relating to our healthy snack policy. Please ensure that any snack money is provided in a named purse/wallet/envelope.
