Welcome to Oak Class 2022-23
 

We would like to welcome you to Ryedene Primary and Nursery School, it has been so amazing to welcome all of our reception children into their new class. What a fantastic first few days we have had! 

The children are exploring and embracing their new environment and some lovely friendships are beginning to form. 

Soon, we will be uploading photos of the children happy, engaged and enjoying their learning environments. 
Also, this page is where you will find various informative presentations that will enable you to become familiar with how and what we teach your child and provide you with support and guidance about the Early Year's Curriculum. These presentations will include:  Home-School Agreement, Our Ryedene Expectations with regards to supporting your child's learning and development at home through weekly homework, how we teach phonics, reading, writing and mathematics. 

We have an exciting journey ahead of us and working together will have a huge positive impact on the holistic development of your child. 

In the meantime, if you have any questions then please contact us via the school's email.

Mrs T. Hall, Ms L. Zeraschi and Mrs H. Hallett

Autumn Term 1 - Learning

This term the children have made us all soooo proud with their positive attitudes and willingness to 'have a go' at new tasks. All children are practising tracing and writing their name as well as making great progress forming the letters correctly during handwriting. 

During maths this term the children have been demonstrating their new learning through 'hands on' exploration and verbally explaing their reasoning. We have explored comparing size, length and height as well as comparing amounts by playing 'Grab and Go'. 

Music features frequently throughout the day and the children really enjoy singing and moving to our morning 'Wake up Assembly song' as well as a daily 'Dough Disco' activity to strengthen our hands and fingers to ensure the correct pencil grip.

Finally, Oak Class posed together and gave their best smiles for the yearly 'New Starters' photograph which appears in the Basildon Echo newspaper - what a proud teacher I am!
