1. Making people feel welcome

Do you ever have people come to see you? At school we have been talking about how to make people feel
welcome. Talk together about some of the people who visit you.

Are there any ways you make people feel welcome to your home?
You might like to draw some pictures to show some of your visitors and how you make them feel wel-
come.
2. My new beginning
‘Can you remember the day I was born?’
Talk together about the day the child was born. The following questions might help.
• What time was I born?
• What was the weather like on the day I was born?
• Where was I born?
• Who was there when I was born?
• What did I look like?
3. Our family flag

Stick or draw a picture of me as a baby here.

Everyone has an interest or a gift or talent. What are the interests, gifts and talents of the people in your
family? Make a flag so that there is something special on it to show a bit about all the people in the family.
4. Making a board game
Design and make a board game together. This should be based on the assembly story and include a journey
through different worlds. Try it out at home and then you could bring it into school to play with your
friends.
Reception Application September 2011
If you have a child that is eligible to start the Reception class in 2011, the period for application
is now open and will close 15th January 2011. Please see the posters provided by the
Borough of Bexley in the entrance hall for further details.

Can you help?

If any parents have any spare boys/girls socks and tights that their child has
outgrown we would welcome them in Year R. Please just send them in a bag to Miss
Beament. Thank you.
