Clover Hill Primary School – Reception Class – Summer 2 2024

Dear Parents,

We hope you had a lovely half term with your family and friends and that you are ready for our final half term in Reception. It is difficult to believe that we only have a few short weeks left!

You will find an overview of the activities we are aiming to be involved in over the coming half term below.  We will also be encouraging the children to lead their learning by planning in additional activities that follow the children’s current interests. 

Our P.E. sessions continue to be each Wednesday with daily opportunities for outdoor play.  Could you please ensure that long hair is tied back for P.E. lessons.  As the weather can be lovely at the minute please send a cap or sun hat and ensure sun cream is applied before school.  Home readers continue to be changed each Friday if readings book s have been read at least three times.

Please do not hesitate to come and see us if you have a query about any aspect of your child’s time in school.

Many thanks for your continued support,

Early Years Team
