A warm welcome to Reception at Glazebury Primary School! We are delighted to be part of your child’s learning journey and look forward to a wonderful year of discovery, growth and new experiences. Here is some useful information to help your child settle into Reception.
Water Bottles
Please send your child to school each day with a named water bottle filled with water. We will be happy to refill it throughout the day to help keep them hydrated.
PE
PE takes place on Wednesdays. Please ensure your child has a fully named PE kit in school each week. PE lessons will take place indoors until the summer term.
Outdoor Learning
Outdoor learning is an important part of life in Reception. The children have daily access to our outdoor area, and we regularly use our wonderful school grounds to enhance learning. Please ensure your child comes to school dressed appropriately for the weather, including a warm coat, hat and gloves in winter and a waterproof coat on rainy days.
Snack
We are part of the Fruit and Vegetable Scheme, which provides the children with a variety of fruit and vegetables each day. Children can also opt in for toast to eat at morning playtime, which is payable in advance through the Parent Pay app.
Our Learning in Reception
Our learning is shaped by the children’s interests, experiences and next steps, helping every child to develop their knowledge, skills and confidence. Take a look at our curriculum map below to discover some of the themes and focus texts we may explore throughout the year.
