Hello! I’m Miss Ryan
Welcome to St Andrew’s Class! I love learning through play and using our imaginations to go on exciting adventures. Whether we're building, investigating, role playing or solving problems together, every day will be full of fun and new experiences. I can't wait to get to know you all and watch you grow, learn and shine throughout your Reception journey.

Hello! I’m Miss Edwards
I am so excited to be your teacher in Reception! I love getting creative, sharing stories and making learning fun. We will spend lots of time exploring, creating, singing and discovering new things together. I can't wait to see all the wonderful ideas you bring to our classroom and celebrate everything you achieve this year.
We can't wait to meet you and begin our exciting Reception adventure together!
Termly Overview
Term 1
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 Wednesday. On their PE day (Wednesday), 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.
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
