Miss Gettings is very pleased to welcome your child into Reception and look forward to supporting them as they begin their school journey.
In the first few weeks, our focus will be on helping the children settle into school routines, get to know their teachers and classmates, and feel comfortable in their new environment. We will spend time exploring both our indoor and outdoor learning areas through play-based activities.
Our topic this half-term is Magical Me. The children will be learning about themselves and others—talking about their families, what they enjoy, and what makes them unique. We will be reading All Are Welcome by Alexandra Penfold, and taking part in a range of linked activities that encourage discussion, creativity, and a sense of belonging.
We’ll also begin introducing early literacy, maths, and communication skills through practical, engaging activities that build confidence and support development.
We’re looking forward to a great start to the year!
