Bug club log on

You should have received a Bug Club letter with your child’s log on details on Friday. This will enable you to access reading books at home to help support your child to learn to read. We are initially focussing on wordless books whilst we learn how to blend and recognise all our letter sounds.

Reading

As we begin our reading journey, we are really enjoying looking at books and talking about the pictures.

Tapestry

All parents should by now have received a Tapestry e-mail activation link. If you haven’t, please check your spam folders and then speak to your class teacher.

As well as putting photos of your child on there, we will also publish weekly memos to keep you up to day with the phonics, maths, stories and songs we are learning.

As always, please speak to a staff member or email us on

receptionteam@stgeorgesschool.org.uk

if you need any further advice.

Reading

We had a special visitor in Reception today. Louie the rugby coach who usually helps the year 6 children came down to read with us. We shared some fantastic stories.

Information for parents

Your children have all  settled into school really well. As part of the Statutory Assessment Duties,  over the next couple of weeks we will be carrying out the Reception Baseline Assessment with your child. This involves practical activities that help us learn what your child can already do and what their next steps are. There is more information in the leaflet below. Please speak to a teacher if you have any further queries. Thank you.

Using tools

We have been developing our hand muscles by using screwdrivers and drills. Everybody waited patiently for their turn too.

Well done

Good morning

Well done to all the new children. We had a super first morning yesterday. The children will be in school all day today (Thursday 7th September) and collection time is 3.15. Please bear with us for the first few days as we learn all the new parent faces.

 

Welcome to Reception at St George’s School

We are so excited to see you all again after the summer holidays. We hope you have all had a lovely break and are eager to start your school journey with us.

Just a reminder we will be doing a staggered start and shorter day on your child’s first day which is Wednesday 6th September.

Please see below for your classes start and finish times. To help our organisation, please stick to these times as closely as possible. Please come through the gate you came in through on the induction morning.

RC – 9-1.30pm

RB – 9.10 – 1.40pm

RM – 9.20 – 1.50pm

Children will be having a school lunch on this day or if you would rather please send a lunch box, thank you. Just a reminder that in Reception, Year 1 and Year 2 ALL children are entitled to a free school lunch.

As we are predicted hot weather for the rest of the week, could you please ensure your child comes to school with sun cream already applied and that they bring a sun hat and water bottle.

We look forward to seeing all your smiling faces on Wednesday morning.

The Reception team 🙂

Come Dine With Me!

On Wednesday, we paired up with Year 6 for our ‘Come Dine With Me’ event. They made a delicious spaghetti bolognaise and we made chocolatey crispy cakes. We also  made place mats and hats and had a wonderful afternoon dining in the hall.
