Reception Fund 
To maximise children’s learning is very important that we make things real. We aim to 
provide the opportunity to cook, make play dough and experiment with a wide range of 
materials. We kindly ask that you make a voluntary contribution of 50 pence a week to buy 
ingredients. Look out for the class collection jar or alternatively speak to any of the staff 
members. 
 
Please  ensure  that  you  ​bring  your  child’s  bag  everyday  ​and  that  the  uniform  is  clearly 
labelled. 

It  is  very  important  that  your  child has a ​spare change of clothes ​(not necessarily uniform) 

in  his/her  book  bag  in  case  of  accidents  or  as  a  change  after  water play. Donations of old 
clothes including pants, socks and trousers are needed and very welcome.  

Children  have  access  to  ​junk  modelling  ​everyday  so  we  constantly  need  supplies  of  lids, 
egg  cartons  (great  for  exploring  mathematical  concepts),  small  clean boxes , bottles, corks,

containers,  plastic  milk  bottles,  old  flour  to  make  playdough  etc  and  any  other  creative 
resources.  We  would  also  welcome  any  possible  donations  of  old  furniture,  pots,  pans  or 
other items such as toys etc.  

Please talk to a member of staff to arrange. 

 
Children’s diaries 
Each  child  in  Reception  will  have  a  diary  in  which  they  choose  a  piece  of  work  each  week 
that  they  are  proud  of,  to  stick  in  and  share  with  you.  They  will  bring  the  diary  home  with 
them  each  Friday.  They  may  also  add  a  drawing/photo/account  of  something  they  did 
during  the  weekend  that  will  be  shared  with  the  class  over  the  course  of  the  week.  You can 
expect diaries to start going home in the next few weeks. 
 
Parent/carer-volunteers 
If  you  would  like  to  help  out  in  Reception,  we  will  gladly  welcome  volunteers  once  the 
children have settled. If you are interested please come and talk to me. 
 
Health & Hygiene Issues 
If  your  child  suffers  from  allergies  or other health issues, could you please let the staff know 
and provide medication/epipen or asthma pumps. A medical form must also be completed. 
 
Information Meeting 
Reception  will  be  having  an  information  meeting  for  parents on Wednesday 12h September 
2018  at  1:15pm  in the classroom. This will be an opportunity for you to meet us and find out a 
little  more  about  Reception  and  the  exciting  plans  for  our  curriculum  and  parents’ 
involvement.   
We hope that you will be able to attend. 
 
As always, If you have anything you would like to discuss at other times of the term please 
make an appointment. Alternatively, you can email us at the addresses below. 
 
We look forward to an exciting term.
