Welcome to Reception

Our class teachers are Mrs Williams and Miss Robins. Our teaching assistants are Mrs Simmonds, Mrs Kidd, Mrs Jones and Miss Smith (Mon and Thurs). Mrs Jones and Mrs Thomson teach on a Thursday afternoon. 

In Reception, the rules and expectations are built around the core values of our school and our Heronswood Charter.

We also use Class Dojo to celebrate children's achievements in these behaviours and values.

PE and kit information  

Our PE day is on a Wednesday.  Please can the children come to school in their PE kits on Thursday.   

Your child will already be in PE/ forest school clothes so will not need to bring anything else in.   

The PE kit is as follow:  

Navy shorts, white polo shirt, white socks, navy joggers, navy jumper and trainers.  

Forest Thursdays  

Every Thursday the children will be going to forest school in the afternoon. Children need to come into school in their own clothes full-length leggings/ trousers. Forest school can be muddy and wet so please bring them in clothes that can get a bit messy. On forest school days it is important children have got coats as we like to go out whatever the weather. A pair of welly boots should remain in school.  

Homework and Reading

All children will have an Oxford Owl log in and this resource can be used at home to access assigned reading books. They will also have a Seesaw account where each week Phonics homework and personalised Phonics pathways will be shared. Please ensure you access these as they are essential in supporting your child to learn to read.
