Reception 2026 - 2027
Mr McCulloch
Welcome to the Reception class page.
It is finally here, the time we can welcome your children to our St John Fisher Family. We are so excited to get to know all of the children and their likes and dislikes, strengths and weaknesses. Please remember to use Tapestry as a form of communication, especiallly to share the things you have done at home over weekends and holidays.
If anyone isn't sure, our start time is at 8:40 am, and our day finishes at 3:10pm.
Snack money should be paid weekly into class and costs £1.00 - although this is a voluntary contribution, it helps not only to pay for snack each week, but also to provide different foods for children to try, different and exciting learning experiences, and resources for your children.
Our Topic.
The topic this half term will focus on traditional tales, with a primary focus of the Gingerbread man. Keep your eyes open, because we know he likes to run away!
Forest School
Forest School takes place every Monday afternoon - Please ensure that all children have wellies and old/waterproof clothes at school, children should come to school in appopriate outdoor clothing as we will be outside rain or shine! Little word of warning here - we might come home a little bit muddy, but always with a huge smile on our faces!
PE:
Although Reception's PE Session is now on a Wednesday afternoon, please make sure that your child has their full PE kit in school every day. We will send home PE kits at half term to be washed.
Water bottles:
Can children please bring in their water bottle every day.
Please remember to put name labels in ALL items of school uniform, things do go missing throughout the year and as much as we endeavour to keep track of things, they do go missing from time to time.
