Welcome
We pride ourselves on our close relationships between home and school. This begins with our transition visits and welcome meetings, which really make our children and parents feel part of our community and confident about what school life at Sacred Heart will be like.
Our F2 children enjoy access to our dedicated outdoor learning areas, as well as a stimulating and inviting classroom. These areas are full of resources to support class, group and independent learning. Some of our children’s favourite activities include getting messy in our mud kitchen, developing their imagination in our role play areas and using resources found in the natural environment to support their mathematical and scientific thinking.
The School Day

The school day finishes at 3:15pm
Your child will be offered a fruit/vegetable snack or alternatively your child may bring in a fruit/vegetable/healthy snack from home. We encourage healthy eating and therefore no crisps or chocolate please.
Milk is available and is free for under 5’s. If your child wishes to have milk once they turn five, please see the office or sign up to Cool Milk.
Lunch Time – 12.00pm. to 1:00pm.
Children in Reception receive a free school meal, which is funded by the Government. You need to order your child’s meals through Arbor, you can do this in advance.
Reading
On a Thursday your child will bring home their phonic reading book that they have shared in class. Please over read the book and enjoy discussing the text together. Please share stories, make up stories or listen to stories everyday with your child.
Your child also has access to Big Cat Collins online – books will be allocated weekly to your child based on their phonics knowledge.
Record in your reading record when your child has read with a comment on their reading or a smiley face.
Communication
Communication can be made via Arbor or by phoning the office. You can also email admin@sacedheart.notts.sch.uk and the message will be shared with the class teacher.
Our Class
Spring 1 –
This term, in Maths, we have been learning about 0 and the composition of numbers to 10. We have worked very hard on one more and one less and we will begin to learn conceptual subitising to 5.
As part of our UTW unit we are exploring the seasons and the different types of weather we experience during each season. This has been a very good opportunity to get outdoors and feel the different effects of the cold weather. For example, the frost, the fog, the ice. This has been a great way for us to develop our vocabulary whilst learning and exploring through play.
