EYFS

Learning Link: People Who Help Us

Welcome to Reception!

We are so excited about getting to know our new St Salvatore and St Henry classes and we know that we have a fantastic year ahead of us.

The first thing that we will be doing is making lots of new friends, learning everyone’s names, and finding out about each other and our school.

We are also going to be learning about the people who help us in our community. Not only those we turn to in emergencies, like doctors, nurses and firefighters, but also those who help to keep everything running in our daily lives. We are looking forward to hearing which jobs you would like to find out about and are hoping that we will have some visitors to come in and tell us about their roles.

Just before the Christmas holidays we will have a special S=P+A+C+E Day to celebrate and reflect on all the learning that we have done during our first term together at St Thomas’.
