Reception
Welcome to Reception's class page
We are in our final term of the year now and looking forward to the last of our topics and hopefully some sunny weather. This half term we will be covering the topic 'up in the air, down on the ground'. Take a look at our curriculum maps below to find out what we will be learning.
Remember to check Tapestry regularly for class memos, home learning updates and observations. If there are any 'magic moments' at home we would love for you to upload pictures of those too!
Lastly, despite being the Summer Term, the forecast is prone to change quickly. Please make sure your child has clothes appropriate for the changing weather, and please ensure everything is named! We will always do our best to return uniform to do the rightful owner and it is always easier with names in things.
Please continue to support the children with their learning at home. Below you will find videos and links to the Little Wandle parent support page. If you have any questions please get in touch via the office, Tapestry or speak to us at the gate.

Reception Summer Term PE Sessions - Thursday
Please ensure your child comes to school in their PE kit on the above days. If your child's PE day falls on any form of non-school uniform day (i.e PTA event; World Book Day) then please put their PE kit in a separate bag for them to change into on the day.
Can we walk 500 miles?
This half term the children in EYFS will be undertaking the challenge of walking 500 miles (collectively) over the course of the half term in order to raise some funds for new play equipment.
We have set the target of raising £500 to put towards some new construction and small world equipment for our EYFS that will help to enhance our learning opportunities.
Each day we will record on the chalkboard outside the Reception classroom how far we collectively walked, and will add the total number of miles each week. The children are very keen to see how far they can walk, with some of Reception even setting the goal of Anfield stadium as a first target.
While doing this challenge we are obviously learning ‘I’m gonna be’ by The Proclaimers, so listen out for us singing it at home!
Thank you in advance for any contributions and your continued support in making the children’s experiences here at Leverstock Green the best we possibly can.

’50 Things to do before you’re five’
There is a brand new app for families in Hertfordshire! It’s called ’50 Things to do before you’re five‘, it’s intention is to improve outcomes for our younger children. It’s full of ideas for activities and experiences that are free or low cost that encourage communication and language, being active and trying new things. Many experiences are outdoors and open ended so the whole family can take part!
How many experiences and memories can you tick off?
A message for any families who are due to be starting our Reception Class in September.
I have attached a pdf story of a child starting school for you to share with your child. This will enable you to introduce the idea of staying all day at school, and will help all children that will be full time in September. Read the story and talk about it with your child. Doing this several times every now and again will help your child understand some of the experiences that will be ahead for them and help them cope emotionally for what could possibly be a challenge. We are very much looking forward to meeting you and your child and begin the process of getting to know you.
