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 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.
- 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.
- 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
