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.

 

                                                              

Our topic for Autumn 1 is All about me!  During this topic we will be learning what makes us special and unique. The book we will be focusing on is Lost and found by Oliver Jeffers. The book's main focus is on friendship and the importance of helping others.  We will also use this book to help us learn all about penguins, including where they live and key facts.

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.  

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 needs to be brought to school everyday. 
• We love to read! We will be reading together and enjoying a wide range of books each day. Home reading books must be brought back to school each day. 
• You can contact Miss Shelley using the Seesaw app if you have any questions or queries or alternatively you are welcome to catch staff at the beginning and end of each school day if you need to. 

Class 2 will have PE every Thursday during the Autumn Term. Children will need to bring their PE kits in a named bag; navy joggers/ shorts, a white T-shirt and trainers. 

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 term's 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.
