CLASS ORGANISATION

We currently have 31 children in the Early Years Unit.

  • 21 children in Reception and
  • 10 children in Nursery (this number will hopefully increase as

the year goes by), 5 of whom are entitled to the 30 hours funding and so join the Reception children in the afternoon. Miss Hinton & Miss Katy will each have a key group of 5 nursery children and take the lead in Nursery on alternate weeks.

START OF THE DAY

  • Gates and classroom doors open at 8.30am.
  • Children in Nursery come in and settle to an activity
  • Children in Reception need to put their things away and complete their

‘Start of the Day Activity’

  • Registration will be at 8.40 – 8.45am

(we ask all parents to leave before this time – if doors are opening and closing we can’t ensure the safety of the children in class)

  • If you arrive after this time and the gate has been shut you

must go to the main reception for your child to be signed in.

PHONICS AND READING

  • This is the scheme we use to teach phonics on a daily basis
  • Once we have assessed the children we will start to send home reading books for those who a

ready.

  • Try to find a time to listen to your child read every night. We ask that all books

s are read three times as this really helps children to develop as confident readers – rushing forward will not help in the long run.

  • We will send home sets of ‘Rotten Red’ words. These are words that cannot be decoded

phonetically and just need to be learnt by sight.

  • We will try to listen to every Reception child read each week.
  • Remember we want children to learn to love reading so don’t push too hard (little & often is

the key) and it’s important to share the joy of books by reading to / with your child every day, at bedtime or anytime of the day.
