Welcome to Reception
Our teacher is Mrs Robertson
We are supported in our learning by Mrs Robb – "St Teresa’s has been an big part of my life from attending here as a child to working here for many years. My favourite thing to do is to go on days out with my family and to visit new places together. I love winter and Christmas time."

PSED
We have launched our personal, social and emotional development (PSED) programme with our Reception children and they have really enjoyed learning about the colour monster.
As part of this programme, we intend to:
-
send links to stories we have read in class and links to other books you might also like to read with your child to support skill development
-
send home ideas for you to share
-
provide a list of helpful websites and apps
In the summer term, we would like you to watch two online webinars to learn about play based learning and at the end of the Reception year, we will invite you to join your children in a little celebration.
Each week there will be a story to share, short tasks as we work towards our goals. PSED EYFS

P.E
Children can wear their school PE kits all day on PE days. It is important that children arrive to school in their PE kit (white/purple t-shirt, blue/black shorts/joggers and warm blue/black top and trainers). Remember that there should be no earrings worn on PE days. Please check your child’s name is visible in all items of clothing.
