In Reception Class your teachers are Mrs Howard and Mrs Evans. The teaching assistants are Mrs O'Loughlin and Mrs Pitt. The children are split into 2 groups: The "Fishes" are with Mrs Howard and the "Butterflies" with Mrs Evans. The children share the same classroom and outdoor area and are sometimes taught in mixed groups.

BOOKBAGS

Please bring your child's bookbag to school everyday. Inside will be your child's reading diary and a storybook of their choice to share with you at home. Every Friday your child will be assigned a levelled reading book through Collins ebooks online.  Please comment and sign the diary to show us that your child has read their ebook and shared their story book with you. We will change the story books every Monday and Thursday if they have been read. You will also recieve phonics and maths homework and our "Rhyme of the Week" for you to practice with your child aswel as any letters/forms/invitations that your child recieves. Please check and empty your child's bag of paperwork each week so it is clear what is that weeks homework practise. Thank you
