Welcome to Reception Class!  

Our Teacher is Mrs Nelson.

Our classroom assistants are Ms Ferro and Miss Morris.

Our PE Day is Friday.

We are looking forward to a busy and enjoyable year with your children.  They are very excited to be part of St. Edward’s family and have settled in so well. 

Reading books will be changed on a Friday.  We know lives are busy but it really helps if children read on a regular basis.  These books are phonetically decodable to match the sounds taught in class. We ask that books are read 4 times a week, to help your child develop reading  fluency, please sign your child's reading diary each time. Feel free to leave a comment to let us know how your child gets on with each book. Please also help your child to recognise the phonics sounds and Harder to Read and Spell words that are sent home each week. 

Homework will be sent at the beginning of each half term. Tasks will link to the current topic and can be done in any order. Please send in any homework completed or add photos on Tapestry. 

Our PE day is Friday.  Children should come in their PE kit on this day. If your child wears earrings, please could we ask that these aren’t worn on PE days.  

We want your children to feel happy in class and to enjoy to coming to school.  If there is anything at all that is worrying them, or worrying you please pop in and see us, either at drop off or pick up, or at one of our half termly drop in sessions for parents. 

Yours sincerely,

Mrs Nelson and the Reception team
