Reception Autumn 2022 Newsletter

Welcome back to all our families. Hopefully, you have had a wonderful Summer with family and friends, full of fun and laughter and we look forward to hearing all about it.

Our topic this term is 'Magical Me'. During this topic we will be exploring ourselves, our families, our friends and the different people we have around us.

Class Tigers

We will be exploring our topic through each of our areas of learning and we will be providing parents with a newsletter on Class Dojo, showing our story of the month, text of the week, rhyme/song of the week, activities we will be doing and key vocabulary. This will give parents/carers the information they need to support their child further at home.

Class Lions

Class Dojo: At St Botolphs we have started using class Dojo as a positive behaviour system, rewarding children for their amazing work. You will be able to see the points they earn and children will be able to redeem their points for prizes. We will also use Class Dojo to keep parents updated with different events happening at school and any exciting things that are happening in class. Parents can also contact the class teachers directly with any questions they have.

Tapestry: We will still be using Tapestry to show parents/ carers what the children have been doing that week in more detail. Please check this on a regular basis and when your child does wonderful things at home, you can post photographs or short videos on Tapestry for the teachers to see and comment on.

Our core Christian values for the term will be Responsibility in the first part of the term and then Resilience in the second half of Autumn term. We will explore these themes in our class worships.

PE: Our PE day will be a Tuesday but as always, please make sure your child's PE kit is brought in on a Monday and we will make sure it is sent home on a Friday. Please make sure that both indoor and outdoor PE kits are provided. We will not be doing PE for the first few weeks and we will put on Class Dojo the week before we start so you know when to start sending it into school. We will share a date on Class Dojo for when our PE lessons will start.

How you can help at home...

Homework: Homework will be sent home on a weekly basis. The dates and start times of this will be communicated via Dojo when the children are settled in to their new class and routines.

Our topics: Magical Me - To support your child in this topic please could you discuss your family history with your child. This will support them during the discussion we have in class.

Christmas - To support your child, please discuss the different routines that you share with your children over this festive period. More information around Christmas festivities will be communicated closer to the time.

British Weather: Please remember that the British weather does not always stay the same. If the weather is sunny on a morning, it does not mean the weather will always stay this way. If the weather is sunny, please send your child in a sun hat and apply sun cream before school when applicable. If the weather is cold, please send hats, scarves and gloves with names in. Please name any clothes or accessories that are sent to school to avoid any confusion or loss.

Your support in sending your child to school on time and regularly is vital to ensure that they receive the best quality education they can.

We are looking forward to a fantastic term together and would to take this opportunity to welcome you all to UFS. If you have any questions about anything this term, either come in and see us or please use Class Dojo and we will get back to your as soon as we can.

We are wondering where our journey will take us this term. Exciting times ahead!

Miss Kaye and the Reception Team
