Reception

Welcome to our Reception web page!

Please see below for more details about our upcoming learning in our yearly overview, termly overview and our newsletter which should give you lots of useful information regarding our school.     

Welcome to Term 3

We hope you have had a lovely break and a great start to 2024! We are looking forward to another fun-filled term with your children. This term our topic will be ‘Jobs People Do’ and we will be introducing the children to a range of different occupations. We are looking forward to seeing what jobs inspire and interest your children. 

We will end the term with a celebration of their learning and a dress up day on Friday 14th February. After all our learning about different jobs, the children can come in dressed up as what they want to be when they grow up. It will be a lovely day celebrating their dreams & aspirations and we will have a parade as a year group. We have lots of other exciting plans to enrich our learning about Jobs People Do - the Fire Service are going to lend us a Discovery Pack and we hope to have a police car visit for the children as well.

We would love to have as many parents/carers as possible into school to talk about their job. This is such a valuable experience for the children and really brings their learning to life. You can do this in whichever way you are comfortable with – for example, talking to a small group or the whole class, engaging the children in a workshop or activity with the children. In the past we have had florists, cleaners, dentists, cooks, nurses, police officers, and supermarket workers. All jobs are fascinating to the children! If you are available, please get in contact with your child’s class teacher, who will support you in planning for this. We look forward to having you in!

Thanks,
