KST Posted April 8, 2010 Share Posted April 8, 2010 Hi all, As we are soon to get the list of children who will be joining reception in september, I am trying to come up with a little introduction letter/pack to send to the parents/children. Just wondered if anyone has any ideas of the sorts of things I should include or even an example of theirs to see! Thanks! x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted April 8, 2010 Share Posted April 8, 2010 Something that I was going to start, especially for those children who will be starting in our reception but haven't attended our nursery, was a photo book or some other layout. It was a suggestion made to me by another teacher I was talking to. She had introduced it after consulting with the parents. The photos just showed parts of the school and classroom (ie: a photo of where the children will eat their lunch, the cloakroom, the outside space etc, each with a little caption describing it). It went down really well with both the parents and the children as it helped them to talk with their children about the move. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mps09 Posted April 9, 2010 Share Posted April 9, 2010 prospectus_no_photos.docx Here is our prospectus.... I have had to take out the photos though - not for confidentiality! - but cos it makes the document too big... They were things with the children actively engaged in different areas of learning with a comment underneath... really messy, dressing up, in the sand, cooking, outside, in the rain, etc. Hope this helps again!
