Ash - Reception

Welcome to Ash Class!

Hi, I'm Mrs Dursley, the teacher in Ash Class!

We are very lucky to be supported each day by Miss Griffiths, Mrs Bowler,

Mrs Chamberlain and Mrs Bates.

A few reminders...

  • Every Friday we have PE in the afternoon.  Children need to come to school every Friday wearing their correct PE kit.  This includes black or navy joggers/shorts/leggings, a white t-shirt and a black or navy hoody or jumper and trainers.
  • Every Tuesday the children in Ash Class have Forest Schools in the morning.  Children need to come to school wearing warm clothes and shoes which are suitable for outdoor play  Please bring wellies and waterproofs in a separate bag to change into for Forest Schools.  
  • Children need their book bags in school every day.  We read with your children throughout the week and it is very important that this is recorded in their reading diaries.  Please remember to support your child with reading their reading book at home.  We ask that children read with an adult 5 times per week at home and that this is recorded in their Reading Diary.  Reading books are changed once a week however you can read anything additional with your child - magazines, recipes, picture books etc!

The Reception Baseline Assessment (RBA) has been a statutory assessment from September 2021 onwards. It provides a snapshot of where pupils are when they arrive at school. It will provide a starting point to measure the progress schools make with their pupils between reception and the end of primary school.  Over the next few weeks the children in our class will be completing a baseline assessment with an adult.  You can read more about this via the links below.  Please let us know if you have any questions.
