Mrs Kyte

Welcome to Reception Class!

We are incredibly lucky to have 25 wonderful children in our class this year. There will be some amazing staff supporting us to learn, grow and thrive this academic year. Mrs Kyte will be our teacher on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday and Mrs Fawcett will be our teacher on a Wednesday. We will also be supported by Mrs Fitter, Mrs Lee and Mrs Burton who are our wonderful teaching assistants. 

The adults within the unit support all of the children, we are like a little family who care and respect each other. We encourage the children to self-regulate and show respect to themselves, their peers and the space around them. The children are encouraged to believe in themselves and to understand that when they make mistakes this shows that they are learning. 

Our provision is highly inspiring and provides our children with rich learning opportunities and experiences linked to a main theme. 

Children’s learning journeys are posted on Tapestry and parents are encouraged to comment on learning or add significant events and observations to their child’s journal. You can also follow us on Twitter for regular updates on all the wonderful things we have been learning. 

We look forward to sharing your child’s early years with them and helping to support them to grow, achieve and become confident, independent individuals. 

A few helpful reminders:

School starts at 8.30am and finishes at 3pm. 

Please bring book bags and water bottles to school every day.

 PE is on Wednesday. Please send your child in their kit ready for this session.

To help your child learn, you could:

• Talk to them about their school day.
• Listen to them read at least three times per week. Please log all read in your child's reading record. 

• Practise recognising numbers and shapes in the environment. Number recognition and counting can also be practised using https://play.numbots.com
•  Help them to learn to recognise and write their name.
• Ensure there is a spare set of clothes in school
