Winkfield St Mary's C of E School

Welcome to Our Reception Class Pages

In Reception we are always busy and have lots of fun and adventures as we learn lots of new things, work hard and play.  We have a safe and secure environment and learn in a structured and stimulating setting using lots of fun and exciting resources.  Our highly experienced and qualified teachers and teaching assistants are:

Mrs Hartland (Monday to Wednesday)
Mrs Evans (Thursday and Friday)
Ms Birkett (Monday to Friday)

Feel free to come and speak to any of us if you have any questions and concerns.  Alternatively you can put a note in your child's reading record for us to read or e-mail us and we will respond to your messages as soon as possible.

Reception year at Winkfield St Mary's is an important foundation to their learning and we have created a curriculum which will prepare children to be ready for Year 1 learning.  You can access a document which explains this here.

On this page you will find key diary dates and details of our home learning for the Summer Term 2022.

Home Learning

Reading books will continue to be changed on a Monday, Wednesday and Friday.  Please ensure you write in the reading diary when you have read with your child (every evening if possible).  Also, during the Summer Term we send home five words each week for your child to learn to spell.  New words will be given each Monday and the children will have a whole class spelling test the next Monday (in practice for spelling tests in Year One).  A small maths task will also be added to Seesaw every Monday and your child will have a week to complete the task before a new one is added the following week.  Additionally we have a homework grid for both half terms for you to complete when convenient to you and your child.
