Reception
Welcome to Early Years at St Thomas Cantilupe

Reception Class |
Our topics for this year are ‘Marvellous Me', 'Come Outside' and 'Magic Memories'. In the first term in Reception we aim to find out all about the children. We will look at stories as part of our Talk for Writing approach. Through this approach, the children will learn a simplified version of a story that they will soon be able to retell all on their own. During the first term, we want the children to explore their new environment and learn new skills that they can then develop over the year. Over the course of the year we will be inviting different people in to work with the children in small groups. First up, we have linked with a local woodwork teacher who has very kindly offered to show the children how to use the woodwork bench that he made for us and to teach the children how to use the tools correctly.
In the event of being required to offer remote learning, Class R pupils, should follow the remote learning timetable for the relevant week. Teachers will use Seesaw to communicate with your child about their learning and suggest suitable tasks, activities and links to supplement those outlined in the remote learning plan. Most tasks can be completed online or through the use of pencil and paper. For tasks where you may require a printer, but are unable to access one or you have problems getting online, feel free to ask us for further support by contacting the office. Remember to make sure you include time for looking after your health and wellbeing. Stay safe.
