Letter to new Reception children:

Welcome to Reception

We are really looking forward to you joining our Reception class in September. There are lots of wonderful things for you to enjoy and we will do everything we can to make sure you are safe and happy.

Here are a few things you can do over the summer which will help you when you start school:

  • Draw lots of pictures
  • Visit the library and share lots of exciting story books
  • Make a box all about you: Chatterbox (use a shoe box or tin. Decorate it. Put things in such as photos of people and pets who are special, a photo of your house, a favourite book, a birthday card with a number on from your last birthday, a favourite thing you play with, something from when you were a baby and anything else you want to share with us.)
  • Dress yourself and practice putting on your school clothes, your coat and your wellington boots
  • Put on your own shoes and socks
  • Practice pouring your own drink and using a knife and fork
  • Use the toilet all by yourself and wash your hands when you have finished
  • Unpeel different types of fruit (banana, orange, satsuma…)
  • Collect interesting things such as stones, shells and sticks
  • Spend lots of time outside running, jumping, climbing
  • Laugh a lot ðŸ˜Š

 

We are looking forward to getting to know you
