Welcome 

to

Reception

Welcome back to the final term of this academic year!

This is our online class page. Here you will find important curriculum information about your child's time in our Reception class.

The curriculum overviews below summarise our planned learning for each term. The children also have the opportunity to follow their own interests during 'Independent Learning Time' each day.

Tapestry 

The children in Reception have individual Tapestry accounts. These allow us to share lots of photographs and observations to celebrate each child's learning and development at school. Parents are able to comment on each post and add observations and information from home too. 

Click on the link below which will take you to the login screen. If you have any problems accessing your child's account, please let us know as soon as possible.

P.E.

The children in Reception will have their P.E. lesson on Wednesday morning. Please wear navy/dark jogging bottoms or leggings with trainers or plimsolls on this day, along with your school jumper or cardigan on top.

Please also bring a bobble for long hair and ensure that earrings are either removed or covered on this day.

Forest Friday

On Fridays we will visit the woods for our outdoor learning.

Please remember wellies! These should preferably be kept in school.
 

Home Learning

It is important that your child revisits the sounds we have taught during our RWI Phonics sessions. Information on your child's progress in Phonics will be shared with you at the end of each half term.

'Story Sharing' books and individual reading books are sent home weekly too. Please ensure these are sent back in to school on Monday each week to be changed.

In addition, please look at any errors on your child's Big Maths ‘CLIC’ and ‘Learn Its’ sheets which are sent home weekly.

Vocabulary

As a school we are working hard to extend every child's vocabulary. As well as new words taught in curriculum subjects, we aim to improve children's understanding of ten different words each month. It would be very helpful if you could discuss the meaning of these words with your child. Can you and your child use these words in a sentence? Can you use more than one word in a sentence? Make sure your sentence makes sense! The importance should be on understanding the meaning of each word- please don't worry if your child cannot read or spell the word independently!

The words for this term are listed below:

Please do share your child's home learning by posting photographs or videos on Tapestry - we would love to see what your child is doing at home!

Contact Us

Do not hesitate to speak to one of us at the gate if you have any questions, or send a message via Tapestry. General school enquiries can be answered by the school office either by telephone or by emailing admin@scotby.cumbria.sch.uk. 

Best wishes,

Mrs Irving and Mrs Tweedie 😀
