What have Reception been doing this week?
- In ‘Talk through stories’, we have been listening to Burglar Bill – About a burglar who stole many things in his town and then discovered a baby in a box he stole.
- The children wrote short sentences about being healthy.
- In Maths, we continued to learn composition and matched numbers that make 10 .
- In Science, the children learned more about melting and they had to free animals from the ice.
‘This is the best day ever’ said Amina
When we overfilled the water with fairy liquid, the children had great fun playing with the bubbles.

Reception Early Learning Goals
The Early Learning Goals are not used as a curriculum or in anyway to limit the wide variety of rich experiences that are crucial to child development. The ELGs support us to make holistic, best-fit judgement about a child’s development at the end of EYFS and their readiness for Year 1. Our ELGs are set out below:
Key Notices
Attendance: Pupil Absences
If your child is absent, excess of 2 days, schools are required to complete a welfare check on the third day, this supports the safeguarding of the child. Ideally you will be contacted to arrange the visit, however, if school are unable to contact you, an unannounced visit will take place and a calling card provided. We have a statutory responsibility to safeguard all of our children and appreciate your support.
Uniform
Your child needs to wear school uniform so they feel part of the Newham Bridge family. This includes:
* Red jumper or cardigan * Grey skirt or trousers * White shirt or polo shirt * Black shoes (velcro).
A suitable coat (for all weathers)
Children are learning to put their cardigans and jumpers in trays independently if they don’t want to wear them and their coats on pegs, but it is really important that these items are labelled with your child’s full name.
PE Days
PE sessions have changed. PE will take place:
Monday – Ball skills – Rackets and balls
Thursday – Mrs Short – Attack and Defence games
Children need to come to school in their PE kits:
Black joggers / leggings, white polo shirt and black trainers
It is easier for girls to wear socks rather than tights so they can put on their socks and shoes easily. Please practise with your child putting their socks and shoes on independently.
Come and Read
Every Monday, parents are invited to join their child on a morning to come and read a book. When the doors open at 8.40am, parents can pop into reception and share a book with their child until doors close at 9.00am.
Super Readers
Well done to Mabel and Sailor for sharing 25 books and Teddy for sharing 100 books at home – Happy Reading!
