Children starting Reception in September 2021
We cannot wait to meet you in September and look forward to you starting. Please check our page regularly for pictures and updates of any information you may need to know.
We are working hard on getting the classroom and outdoor area set up and ready for September. Once we are finished we will take lots of pictures and add them on here, so keep checking.
One thing you can be working on at home is forming the letters in your name correctly. Remember you need a capital letter at the beginning, then lowercase letters for the rest of your name, for example Albert. It might be that you can write your name already but need to practise your letter formation, or that you are working on holding a pencil and forming the first letter.
It is important to work on your fine motor skills to make sure you can hold a pencil correctly to write. You can build the strength up in your fingers and hand by doing lots of fun things such as playing with pegs, playdough and threading.
Phonics
We enjoy singing the 'Phonics Song' and 'Tricky Word Song' at the beginning of every Phonics session.

Phonics Play is a great website to help embed what the children are learning in Phonics by playing games.
