Reception

Welcome to Early Years at St Mary and St John Catholic Primary School

Here is a quick taster of life in Reception 🙂

Hello and welcome to the Reception class page.

In Reception, Mrs Woods is the class teacher and Mrs Rigby is the class teaching assistant. This year Mrs Hurst will teach PE and music too.

We hope you find the following information useful, if you have any questions at all please send a message on class dojo. You can also arrange an appointment time to meet in school if you require.

Here are a few details about our class:

PE day is Thursday - We now come to school wearing our kits.
One to One reading is timetabled on Fridays - please ensure that your child's books and diary remain in their bag each day as this session is subject to change, depending on school activities.
Phonics information will be sent home each week to support any work at home. Please just send a message on class dojo if you have any questions.
We follow the 'Come and See' program for our Religious Education lessons and assign 10% of our curriculum time to this.
This year the children will be eating lunches in our class bubble. If your child is having a school packed lunch please ensure you order this at home using the Evolve system. You can order a couple of weeks in advance if this is easier for you.
We'd be grateful if you or your child could hand any letters/paperwork to us in the morning as we are not always able to check through all the book bags daily.

Proud Cloud Format

We will send home proud cloud sheets at regular intervals. It would be fantastic if you could record your child's home achievements (e.g. swimming certificates, new learning, special moments of caring for others or special family occasions such as baptisms) on a proud cloud for us to share in school. As well as helping to inform our assessment of your child, it is a lovely home link, which children very much enjoy sharing with their friends, while stood up at the front of the class.
