Welcome to Reception!
Welcome to the Reception page, here you will find helpful information and a little insight into all the wonderful things we are learning.
A little bit about us
We love to sing and dance!
"Hello! I am Mrs Green and I am really looking forward to being your teacher in Reception. I love to get creative and make lots of exciting things and I can’t wait to see what amazing creations you make too! I enjoy reading and my favourite animal is an elephant."
"Hello and welcome to St Andrew’s class, my name is Miss Green. I love teaching through play and I can’t wait to enjoy all of the role playing that we will be doing in our learning journey. Each day will be new learning for us all and I am excited to see you all bloom throughout the year."

RWI
At St. Michael Catholic Primary and Nursery School we teach our phonics through the Read. Write. Inc. programme.
PE
As well as completing physical activities in our EYFS environment, we also take part in PE once a week. This term PE will be on Fridays. On their PE day (Monday), the children should come in to school dressed in their PE kit. They do not need to bring their school uniform as they will stay in their PE kit all day.
Please ensure all earrings are removed or covered.
Forest School
Small groups of children will be taken to explore our Forest School throughout the year; therefore, the children will need to bring in a pair of old shoes or wellies to keep on their pegs.
Reading at Home
Please ensure you are reading with your child everyday. Reading books will be changed once a week.
We have provided each child with their own set of sound cards to help practice their phonics skills at home. Please begin by practicing the recognition of each sound. Once your child is confident with the sounds, you can begin to arrange them to make simple words for your child to practise their blending e.g. c - a - t = cat.
Please ensure you sign your child's learning journal when you practice sounds at home each day.
Please make sure your child brings their Learning Journal to school everyday as a point of contact.
Reading books will be changed once a week:
- Red Group: Monday
- Blue Group: Tuesday
- Green group: Wednesday
- Yellow Group: Thursday
