Dear Parents,

due to the current situation, we are unable to invite you to attend a Welcome Meeting this year.

Please find below our 'Welcome to Reception' handbook, which contains information about what happens in Reception.

Welcome Packs

We will be delivering welcome packs to your homes this week.

These will contain:

• Information about your child's start dates and timings.
• A copy of The Reception Welcome handbook.
• Information about school uniform.
• Some information about Number and Literacy.
• A booklet for your child , with a picture of their teacher and their classroom.
• An 'All about me' booklet for you to fill in with your child. Please bring this to school when
• your child starts.
• Some special paper and some crayons, so that your child can draw a picture to put on the wall in their classroom.

Zoom meetings

This week you will receive an e-mail asking if you and your child would like to meet their new teacher on Zoom. Please reply to the e-mail if you would like to join in. If you have not been e-mailed this will be because your e-mailaddress was incorrect. Please phone the school office to give us the correct one.

Transition into Reception at Cedars Manor School.

Due to the current situation we have decided to delay the entry of the Reception children, so that the rest of the school are settled and have adapted to their return to school.

Please find below a copy of the Induction timetable. You will have a letter in your Welcome pack detailing your individual child's start dates.
