Our Lady and St Philomena's Catholic Primary School
Reception
Welcome to Reception!
Teacher Name: Mrs Southern
Teaching Assistant(s): Mrs Fairclough
This is a special and important year as your child begins their school journey. Our classroom is a warm, welcoming and stimulating environment where children are encouraged to explore, play and learn with confidence, curiosity and independence.
Our days are filled with fun, creativity and hands on learning experiences that support each child’s development in all areas; from early reading and writing, number work to social skills and confidence building.
We work in close partnership with parents and carers to ensure every child feels happy, valued and ready to shine.
Please make sure you are connected to our Class Dojo page where we will keep you updated on what your child is up to.
Class Routines:
P.E. day is Monday - Children should come to school wearing their full P.E. kit and tracksuit on top with black velcro pumps. Please make sure all uniform items are labelled with your child’s name.
Water bottles should be brought in everyday to help keep our little learners hydrated (Sorry no juice or flavoured water allowed).
Homework / Spellings:
Reading books are changed each Friday.
Phonics links / QR codes will be shared through Class Dojo to help support your child at home.
Activities regularly updated on Oxford Owl for children / families to access.
