Reception Homework
The children are expected to read at home every day. Please remember to make a note in their reading record each time that they read. The children also have ‘key words’ to learn to read at home and will be tested on these in school each week.
Our P.E. day:
Friday: Outdoor/Indoor P.E. (weather dependent)
Forest School:
Forest sessions take place every Thursday on a rota basis (10 children in each group).
General Reception news:
