Our Reception Year children always have busy, activity filled days, as the term progresses, once you have signed up for Tapestry you will be able to see what your child’s day in school looks like.
Our school’s Curriculum Overview Statement shows you the main topics your child will be looking at across the year (see Key Information / Curriculum). Parents will receive a Topic Newsletter giving more details about how and what the children will be learning through their topic (a copy of the Topic Newsletter will also be posted under Key Information / Curriculum).
If you are ‘handing in’ or have any queries around your child’s work or homework you can email your child’s class teacher – h.work@wallisdean-inf.hants.sch.uk
