A very big welcome to the Reception Class.

The children have all settled very well.  Please try to encourage them to come into class without you.  This is part of their personal and social development and will help them to become more independent.

During snack time in the morning children will have the choice of water or milk along with toast, raisins or fruit. In the afternoon, children will receive a drink of water and a healthy drink. To cover the cost of snack we ask for a contribution of £1 a week. For administrate purposes we ask that this is paid half termly. This half term consists of eight weeks.

Dinners cost £2.25 a day (£11.25) a week. Please pay for dinners on a Monday morning for the week. Ensure money is in an envelope with your child's name on it. If your child is absent from school, having paid for dinners, they will have a credit for each day absent. The following week you can adjust your payments accordingly.

Out theme this term is 'Wyt ti'n hapus?' (Are you happy?). Many of our activities will be related to this. Amongst other things we will be completing activities relating to parties and other happy events. We will also be completing seasonal activities. Each fortnight the activities we will be completing with the children will be put on the blog, this will allow you to prompt your child when talking about what they have done in school.

Please ensure all clothing is labelled clearly with your child's name -  you will be surprised what goes missing!!

PE is on Monday and Wednesday and children should have their PE kit in school on these days. Please bring named Welles into school as soon as possible so that we can begin our forest school activities.

I will be out of the class on a Thursday morning for Planning, Preparation & Assessment (PPA). During this time Mrs Farrell will be the leader in Reception.

We are all looking forward to getting to know and working with your children. If you ever have any concerns throughout the year, however small please do not hesitate to come in and see me.
