Welcome to Sparrow Class

Welcome to Reception! We are so excited about starting this new adventure with your child!

Teaching Assistant: Miss Green 

Welcome to Woolaston School!

We are excited to welcome your children to Sparrow Class and to be part of the very beginning of their school journey. 

Starting school is a very special milestone, and we are looking forward to getting to know each child as they settle into their new school, build friendships and discover a love of learning through play and exploration. Miss Green will be joining us in Sparrow Class to support the children as they settle in to school life. 

In EYFS, we provide a happy, caring and stimulating environment where children learn through play, exploration and hands-on experiences. We have developed an exciting curriculum that encourages curiosity, creativity and a love of learning, while supporting every child to develop socially, emotionally and academically. 

We look forward to working with you throughout the year. If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to get in touch.

We can't wait to begin this exciting adventure together!

PE

Our PE lesson will be every Thursday

Please send in a PE kit consisting of black shorts and a white t shirt or polo shirt  and black daps or black/white trainers. Children may also wear navy or black leggings or tracksuit bottoms and a navy or black sweatshirt. In the first week of the school year we will provide a logo drawstring bag to keep their PE kit in. As with all other items please label everything! Hair should be tied back and earrings taken out if possible. 

Reading

This is a crucial age for children to be developing their reading skills and we will be encouraging a love of reading and the development of phonic ability. Children will be given a book to bring home and we would love for you to read it with them. Reading books will be changed every Wednesday.

 

How can you help your child with reading at home?

• Play lots of sound and listening games with your child
• Practise their Read Write Inc sounds and red words
• Read as much as possible to and with your child
• Encourage them to make a guess if they are struggling with a word, suggest saying each sound in the word
• Praise as much as possible!
