Welcome to Reception!

Mrs Savage, Mrs Brotherton and Miss Chrystal

On Monday we have ballet and on Wednesday we have music. 

Reading books will be changed on Thursdays, please remember to sign the planner. 

 

Below are the phase 2 high frequency words which the children will learn throughout the year. 

 

A newsletter will be sent out each Friday to let you know what the children will be learning about in class. Please also check the newsletter for the sounds of the week. Below is a helpful reminder of how to pronounce each sound. 

 

Look at our photos to see what we have been up to in Reception Class. This half term, the children are enjoying learning about themselves, their families and each other. We are also learning how special we are to God.
