Welcome to Reception!
Our teacher in Reception is Miss Robertson.
Our support staff are Mrs Theaker and Mrs Wray (Tues-Fri AM)
Our class Governor is Father D'Silva.
The classroom door opens at 8:45 and is closed at 9am.
Your child must bring their reading book and planner to school everyday.
PE kits should be brought to school on Monday and left on your child's peg until Friday.
When the children come into the classroom they hang their coats up and get their reading book out ready to read with an adult everyday. The children then access continuous provision from 8:45 until 9am.
At 9am we have a 30 minute high quality phonics lesson where we learn phase 2 and phase 3 sounds, and tricky words.following this have a literacy lesson and a maths lesson. The children are provided with opportunities to access enhanced and continuous provision indoors and outdoors.
At 12pm until 1pm we have dinner where the children will walk up the the junior building and have a hot meal in our junior hall. The children will be with an adult all of dinner who will be their dinner person.
In an afternoon we learn about a range of foundation subjects and develop our skills through adult and child-led learning challenges. We have a focus on History, Geography and Science throughout the year. The children also take part in Physical Education, Religious Education, Art, Design and Technology, Music and Personal, PSED.
Early Reading:
At Rosedale we work hard to ensure each child has the opportunity to be a successful, confident and happy reader. In order to do this reading is a school priority. The children in Reception read to an adult every day.
In order to support your child, we ask that you read and share stories at home every day for 10 minutes. Please make a note in your child's planner when you have read with them.
