Welcome to Class EJ's class webpage. We are a friendly group of Reception and Year 1 children who are very enthusiastic about our learning. Our class teacher is Mrs Jackson and our wonderful teaching assistant is Miss Cook. On this page, I will endeavour to keep you up-to-date with news from our classroom. As always, if you have any questions, please speak to myself or Miss Cook.
General Information
Reading: We usually change our reading scheme books and school library books (for Reception children) three times a week on a Monday, Wednesday and Friday. Although we do ask for book bags and pupil planners to be brought into school every day, as often there are letters and information that need to go home.
PE: Our PE session is on a Wednesday - currently, we are asking for children to come to school already in their PE kits on this day.
Our Belongings: Can parents and carers please make sure all their child's belongings are named, from gloves to water bottles and plimsolls! Your help in this is very much appreciated as our lost property box is often overflowing!
We ask that water bottles are taken home, washed, refilled (with still plain water only) and brought back the next day. In addition, the children can bring in a healthy snack for break time.
In order for the Reception children to enjoy our outdoor classroom, we ask that each child has a named pair of welly boots that stay at school.
EYFS Reception Reading Meeting information
Under normal circumstances, in early September, Mrs Ruddock would lead a parent/carers' meeting to introduce reading for our new Reception cohort. Due to current restrictions, we are obviously unable to hold the face-to-face meeting this year, however please find below a copy of the slides. Further information regarding supporting your child with reading at home can be found on the information sheet in your child's bookbag. If you have any further questions regarding reading, then please do not hesitate to ask.
This term, Mrs Leeson and Mrs Ruddock were planning to hold a reading workshop to help parents and carers in supporting their child in developing their reading skills. Unfortunately, owing to current circumstances, we are unable to hold the workshop. We have attached the slides below and if you require any further help/support please contact your child’s class teacher.
