Reception
Welcome to Reception 
Class teacher Mrs. Parsons
Teaching assistant Mrs. Kays
General Information:
- Every day in school, your child will need their book bag and a named water bottle. Wellies are also required. These boots will be stored under the veranda, ready for any puddles and damp grass! Please do not forget to name them-we often get duplicate pairs.
- The children have lot of exercise outside but we will also use the hall when appropriate. Please ensure all P.E. kit is labelled with your child's name. Reception's homework sheet in your child's Busy Bee book will give you advance warning of Reception's hall slot for the half-term.
- Snacks of fruit and vegetables are provided. Alternatively, you can send in a (named) snack. Please note we are a healthy school- no nuts or products containing nuts/ chocolate e.g. Nutella
- School lunches are free. The school kitchen team provide excellent meals for all Reception children. Alternatively, you can send in a packed lunch.
- Homework: This is completed in an exercise book called a 'Busy Bee' book. It is handed out every FRIDAY. Please return it every WEDNESDAY to enable completed work to be marked and new work to be assigned.
Reading
Thank you for attending the 'Watch and Read' sessions last term. Currently, your child has a pink band book plus a 'Words and Phrases' text. Soon, you will receive the next colour band, red. Your child will also be accessing the school's infant library. Parents are warmly invited into the school to run the library. Please inform a member of the Reception team if you can spare any time to run the library for the class. Thank you.
How is your child settling into school?
Last term you received a written report and had the opportunity to attend Parents' Evening.
If you have any concerns or queries and need to speak to a member of staff for more than a few moments, feel free to make an informal appointment. Please do this via my email, passing a handwritten note to staff or having a quick chat at the gate. My email is: wparsons@wellgreenprimary.gov.uk
The Reception Team look forward to working with you this academic year. There are lots of exciting activities planned! Thank you in advance for your kind support, Mrs. Parsons and Mrs. Kays
