On a Tuesday Mrs Joyce will cover in Reception Oak.
PE day - Friday
Children can come into school in their PE kits on this day.
Show and Tell
On a Friday we do ‘Show and Tell’. The children can bring something in and tell the class about it. For example, a train ticket, a photo, a leaflet, a picture they have drawn or something they have made, to show their group. This is optional, the children do not have to bring anything in if they do not want to.
Reading Books
Please ensure you bring your child’s reading book bag into school on their specified reading day - this will be written in your child’s reading log. We advise you to support your child to read their book for 10 minutes every evening. Although, we do understand that you all have busy home lives so this is just a guideline.
Learning
In the Foundation Stage (Nursery & Reception) we have seven areas of learning and we also teach Religious Education as part of our curriculum as a Catholic school. Each half term we have a different topic. We learn through teacher and child lead learning.
The areas of learning are:
- communication and language
- physical development
- personal, social and emotional development
- literacy
- mathematics
- understanding the world
- expressive arts and design
