Reception

Dear Parents/Carers,

A very warm welcome to Reception. We are delighted that the children will be joining Reception this half-term and look forward to getting to know them well. It was lovely to meet the children and their families during the home visits and hear about the wide range of interests you have. Thank you parents, for your hospitality and for the endless cups of tea along the way. We have a very busy first half-term of learning planned ahead through our topic 'Magnificent Me'.

Throughout our themed topic, the children will have the opportunity to talk about themselves, family and friends. They will begin to develop a sense of belonging, whilst recognizing and celebrating the diversity in our school and local community. They will have the opportunity to share their thought and feelings about transitioning through whole class discussions as part of the Jigsaw PSHE topic 'Being in My World' sharing what they are looking forward to in Reception and any concerns they may have.

We ask that you please ready with your child on a daily basis as this precious experience helps promote their early language and literacy skills as well as developing a love for reading. Please see the list of core textbooks that we will be reading in class this half-term on the curriculum letter.

The children weill explore the Cromer Road values this half-term, focusing on the value of 'Kindness', knowing that we care care for each other and are considerate of others feelings.

We look forward to working closely with you over the year and wish all the families the very best as your child embarks on their school learning journey.

Please note the following important dates for your child,
