Curriculum Overview
What we will be covering in reception this year:
Sparkling Rules
We will be speaking to children about ‘The Sparkling Rules’ throughout the year, you can link to them here: Sparkling-rules
School Uniform
Please bring in a pair of named wellies for your child to remain in school to be used when the weather gets wetter.
Here is a link to our school uniform information School-uniform
Bookbags
These will be handed out once the children are more settled into their new routines. They will be able to choose a book to take home with them to read with someone at home initially, towards the end of the term we aim to have started the children on our school reading scheme. When this happens we will change their books twice a week
Communication
Communication is key at St Mary’s, if there is anything you need to speak to your class teacher about please catch them during drop off or pick up. Or email the school office to arrange a call. For any non-urgent communication e.g. if someone different is picking up or appointments, please email the school office.
