Reception and Nursery

Nursery places, September 2017:  Do you or a friend or neighbour have a child who was born between 1.9.2013 to 31.8.14?  If so then please tell them about the wonderful learning experiences at Green Dragon. Suggest they visit the school to see the amazing learning first hand and tell them to pick up an application form for Nursery 2017.  Children who will be 3 by 31st August 2017 can attend 3 hours a day (either morning or afternoon) Nursery from September.

Dear parents, remember that you will receive a free PE kit from the office when you return the Free School Meal form.

Reception children must be in the playground by 8.45 for doors to open at 8.50am. 

A polite notice - Nursery Playground:  The Nursery playground is only for the Nursery children to use during the time that Nursery is open.  Please do not let your child run around and play with the toys in there.

  • How can you help

    • Talk about your family. Look at family photos.

      -Who is in your family?

      -What countries do they come from?

      -What special things do you and your family like to do together?

      -Do you belong to a religion or follow any particular routines?

      When walking around the community, look at the different types of houses and house numbers.

      -How are they the same?

      -How are they different?

      -Are they tall/short/long/wide etc?

      - Why do we have keys to houses?

  • Home Learning:

    Read stories with your child at home. Talk about the characters, settings and structure. Can you make up an alternative ending together?

    The children should also:

    • Read every day to or with an adult
    • Practice their phonic cards
    • Ask your child questions about colours, sizes, objects or numbers that you see when you are out and about.

Messages from the Staff

School starts at 8:50am and finishes at 3:15. Please be prompt as lateness at either the start or at the end of the day is upsetting for the children.

Please check with your child's teacher that they have a record of all the people that are allowed to collect you child - we will not allow the children to leave the school premises without your consent. If your child is being collected by someone other than yourself or the allocated person then you MUST call the school office.

Packed lunches must not contain sweets, chocolate bars, nuts or fizzy drinks.

Parents and grown ups can talk to any member of the Reception Team at the end of school.

Please make sure all of your child's clothing has their names written on them with PERMANENT pen - thank you.
