Hello and welcome to our class page!

The reception year is a very exciting time for both parents and children. During this year we will all work together to ensure that your child will develop a love for learning which they will carry with them for the rest of their school journeys. We provide a nurturing and exciting learning environment to give all of our children the opportunity to grow and develop into happy and confident learners. We understand that children learn best when they are interested and intrigued. 

If you have any problems or queries, no matter how small, please do not hesitate to speak to one of the team who will be happy to help you.

Please take time to look at this page regularly for class information updates and to see the fun that we are having together.

Important Dates: Autumn 1:

Tuesday 3rd September: First day of school.

Seesaw is the fantastic online learning platform we use in Reception. We will use this on a daily basis so PLEASE PLEASE sign up and join in the fun!! 

Your child or a familiar adult will upload content to their own secure space, which can then be viewed at school and by your family at home.  Each child will bring home a unique code to enable you to access their online space.  Seesaw also enables you to comment and contribute to your child's online learning journey, something we really value! It really is a lovely way for you to see all the amazing learning in Class 2 and to stay connected to any messages or key information. There are two Seesaw apps that we use. Seesaw family, which enables you to view work and connect with myself and the Seesaw class app, which is used by your child for learning from home.  

Class 2 will have PE every Thursday during the first Autumn Term. Children can come to school dressed in their PE kits; navy joggers/ shorts, a white t-shirt and trainers.  We are very lucky to have a sports coach joining us this term and will be enjoying a term of games with a phonics twist! 

Things to remember:

• Please remember to check that you have the correct uniform - navy jumper or cardigan, white polo t-shirt, navy skirt/pinafore/checked dress, navy trousers/shorts, plain black shoes. 
• All children have their very own Hadrian Primary, named water bottle which will stay in school and be refreshed every day.
• We love to read! We will be reading together and enjoying a wide range of books each day. You will have the opportunity to borrow a reading for pleasure book from our school library on a weekly basis as well as accessing our reading scheme books as and when we are ready for home readers this year. The more practise, the better!
• You can contact Mrs Hooper and Miss Shelley using the Seesaw app if you have any questions or queries or alternatively you are welcome to catch us at the beginning and end of each school day if you need to. 

Home Learning: 

Each term we will send home a topic takeaway to help you support your child's learning at home. These are suggested activities to enjoy together and will link to each terms topics. You can complete as many as you would like to and upload your pictures on Seesaw and/ or add the completed tasks into your child's home learning book.
