All children starting in Reception will be participating in the reception baseline assessment (RBA) within the first 6 weeks of starting reception. The purpose of the assessment is to provide the starting point for a new measure that will help parents understand how well schools support their pupils to progress between reception and year 6 / the end of key stage 2.
It is a short (approximately 20 minutes), practical assessment focusing on their early literacy, communication, language and mathematics skills. A teacher will carry out the assessment one-to-one with each pupil, any time within the first 6 weeks of Reception. It does not require any preparation at home or at school, and will help teachers to understand what their pupils can do at the beginning of their time here at Roby Park. It is important to note that this is not a pass or fail assessment and the results will not be published. It will be used to inform us of your child’s next steps in learning.
If you wish to find out more please follow this link to a short video explaining further:
Reception have PE on Friday. Children wear their complimentary Roby Park PE kit to school – white logo tshirt, navy joggers and jacket. In the warmer months, children may want to wear their burgundy shorts.
Children are allocated multiple books weekly on Rising Stars Reading Planet as well as a physical book which is changed weekly, linked to their stage of Reading. Physical books are changed every Monday. We expect children to read for 10 minutes every night and then to complete the end of book comprehension quiz online when they come to the end of their book. You can access Reading Planet here.

FOREST SCHOOL 🌲 Reception had a great day yesterday, making different shapes and knots with the rope. We also had to make our way through the rope obstacle course and we finished off by learning how to make a fire 🔥 #RPEnrichment
We loved our @HelpPicture this morning, we have lots of special places including school, our homes, holidays, parks and beaches. We could not believe what happened to this beautiful tree, some children have drawn pictures to show that we should be looking after trees.
We had a very exciting visit from @AnimalsTakeOver today. We had the opportunity to meet and hold some amazing animals. We met a bearded dragon, owl, mouse, frog, snake and a hedgehog. We really enjoyed it and Reception were very brave! 🐍 🦔 🦉 🐸 #RPEnrichment #RPScience

Reception spoke confidently about the important people in their lives and how they make us feel safe. @HelpPicture
HelpPicture had us all thinking about the many people that keep us safe. Family, friends, teachers, police officers and many more. Reception thought of the many ways these people help us to feel safe. #RPEYFS
Reception had their first Drop Everything and Read! DEAR 📚 They loved sharing their chosen book with a friend and looking at the illustrations. #RPReading

Reception have made a great start with their Rocket Phonics books this week. They have been very motivated and enjoyed using their new learning to match objects with the same initial sound. #RPEYFS #RPPhonics
Reception Today in PE our aim was to move around safely in space. Well done reception!
Reception enjoyed their first @HelpPicture this morning. They agreed that rules about wearing life jackets on a boat would be very useful. It is a good idea to keep children safe in the water. We enjoyed creating our own boats. #RPEnrichment
We have loved welcoming our new Reception class. We have had lots of fun so far. Keep an eye out for all the exciting things we get up to.
