The Orchard – Reception

Hello and welcome to our class!

To keep up to date about your child’s current learning journey, photographs of them learning, 

playing and exploring together are regularly uploaded to Tapestry. Also, see the links below for photos of 

this term’s learning.

Curriculum maps for each term are now on the main ‘Curriculum’ page of this website. 

Knowledge organisers are also available if you would like to see what your child is learning in class.

Please label your children’s belongings clearly.

Spills and accidents can happen in school. Please send in a complete change of clothes for your 

child in a named bag. The bag will be stored in school. Please include the following items:

Underwear

Socks

Trousers

The children will need to come to school in PE kit on a Tuesday please. 

Yoga is on a Wednesday (school uniform to be worn on this day).

The children have all been given their reading folders,  and it would help enormously if these could be brought in daily. The children are expected to read to an adult at home at least 4 times a week and this can be noted in the record. 

Reception are at the start of the reading journey so they will come home each week with a printed booklet of the new sounds they have been learning that week. Please support your child to practise these sounds and review the previous week sounds as part of their reading at home.

If there is anything you need any help with, please do get in touch.
