Welcome to Reception
PE
PE will be on a FRIDAY, please remember to come to school in PE kit (black bottoms, red t-shirt, school jumper/cardigan and plain black trainers suitable to play outside in). The children will stay in PE kit all day, so jogging bottoms/leggings are preferable as we will be playing outside at other points in the day.
Autumn 1
A huge welcome to all our children and families starting at East Bierley this autumn 2023. Our Reception class team is Mrs Clark and Miss Senior, Mrs Imran and Mrs Winder will be in class too. We are so very excited to welcome you all to our class, school and community. It has been wonderful to meet you during our home visits, thank you for welcoming us into your homes.
This term we will spend some time settling into our class, learning new routines and expectations and making lots of new friends. We will talk about our family and homes, our communities and where we belong.
We will start learning phonics using Essential Letters and Sounds and children will begin to bring home a reading book very soon. Please ensure that the reading pack is returned to school each day, particularly on a Friday to ensure we are able to change the reading books.

You will also need to bring a water bottle, a book bag and a warm, waterproof day every day! Please remember to label uniform, especially cardigans and jumpers. A key ring or writing your child’s name on the Velcro tab on the bag is useful to help your child recognise their own bag.
Your child’s learning journey will be on Tapestry, and you will soon receive an activation link via email. We use Tapestry to share snapshots of our learning with you and encourage you to share wow moments from home with us at school. We will also share class information and termly activities for you to do together at home. You can find key information regarding our curriculum and links to further information in Memos and Documents.
We are very much looking forward to an amazing term with all our new children.
Mrs Clark and Miss Senior
