Welcome to Reception Class

Welcome to the Reception class page for Thorpe Lea Primary School and a huge, warm welcome to all our new Reception class and parents! 

On this page you will find information about: our daily routine, our topic and theme of learning for the term and special events and news.

My name is Miss Nickless and I am the Reception class teacher. 

We are also very lucky to have Miss Pate who is our classroom assistant and Miss McRae (Deputy Head/ SENCO) who is in our classroom on Tuesday mornings.

PE:

We will have PE on Tuesdays and Thursdays so please can you ensure that your child comes to school in their school PE kit and that all uniform is labelled. 

(PE will start from Tuesday 14th September 2021)

Snacks and Lunches

We provide fresh fruit and milk/ water during snack time.  Children can bring in packed lunches (no nuts/ chocolate/ fizzy drinks) or they can have school dinners which you can order on a daily, weekly or termly basis. You can order these via the SCOPAY website.

Library Day

At Thorpe-Lea, we have our very own library and the children get to visit once a week and choose a book for home. Reception's day to visit the library is WEDNESDAY. Please ensure your child's library book is in their back on Wednesday to change. If the book is not returned then your child will miss their library slot that week until the book is returned. 

Please check this page on a regular basis for updates.

Below you will find the class timetable. 

I am looking forward to having a great year with you all! :)

This half term in Reception we will be looking at the topic "Celebrations".

The celebrations we shall be looking at is:

• Diwali
• Bonfire night

If you take part in any of these celebrations and would like to come and talk to the Reception class e.g. Diwali or Thanksgiving then please speak to Miss Nickless about arranging this :)
