Welcome back to the Spring Term

Happy New Year and welcome back to the Spring Term!
We hope you all had a fabulous break, enjoyed the festivities and are looking forward to coming back to seeing all your friends.
We can’t wait to start our brand new topic ‘Space’.
A reminder of key days in Reception this term:

Monday and Wednesday: PE days (please come in PE kit uniform on these days – no brand logos)

Thursday: Forest school (please bring kit in a seperate bag)

Finally, a reminder of the toy show and tell for the first day back. Children in reception are invited to bring one toy (clearly named) for our special show and tell. No electronics and devices please and try to avoid small parts as we would hate for anything to get lost or broken.
Thank you. We look forward to seeing you tomorrow.

Reception Christmas Event

Children in Reception classes are welcome to come to school in a Christmas jumper tomorrow for the sing along and craft session. If you do not have a jumper, then tinsel or Christmas hats or hair bows are a welcome alternative.

This will take place in the afternoon, but children can come to school wearing their jumper with their usual skirts or trousers for the whole day.

There will be no forest school session tomorrow afternoon due to the Christmas event.

 

Thank you

The Reception team :)

Welcome Back Reception

We hope you had a lovely half term! We are looking forward to welcoming you back and hearing about your break.

PE days and Forest School remain the same for this half term:

Wednesday – Outdoor PE (Please come dressed in PE Kit – uniform kit please, no branded logos).

Thursday – Forest School (Please bring warm kit, a waterproof coat and wellies in a bag to change into). We will leave kit boxes outside classroom doors to drop kit bags in and will put them back out at home time to collect kits from. Kit boxes have a coloured sticker for your child’s group so they are easier to place and find.

Friday – Indoor PE (Please come dressed in PE Kit – uniform kit please, no branded logos)

 

We will keep you updated if there are any changes to days as lovely events get booked in, in the lead up to Christmas.

 

Thank you for your ongoing support.

Bread Making in Reception

In Reception we read ‘The Little Red Hen’ and then baked our own delicious bread!

We followed instructions to make the dough, kneading and rolling our own bread roll. We ate the bread afterwards of course. It was yummy!

 

Reception Message – Well done!

We would like to say a huge well done to all Reception children for completing their first half term at Newdale.

Everyone has already made so much progress and has worked really hard. We are incredibly proud.

We hope you all have a wonderful well-deserved break at half term.

The Reception Team :)

Reception Message – Hometime

Please could we remind parents/carers to pop a note in the home/school communication book or ring into the main school office if somebody else is collecting your child that day.

If this is going to be a regular alternative person collecting, such as a family member, friend or fellow parent, then please let us know they have permission to collect in your absence.

Thank you for your support.

Message – Lost property and home time.

Good evening,
As you can see, now Autumn is in full swing, we are experiencing both warm and wet weather. Because of this, the children are taking coats, jumpers and cardigans on and off more frequently whilst playing outside at break and lunchtimes. Please can you help us by ensuring that their uniform and coats are labelled with their full name so that we can easily and quickly partner up clothes again with the right person.

It can be quite a challenge to man the doors at home time and search for lost belongings at the same time. Our priority has to be ensuring that each child returns to the correct person collecting them.

We would like to reassure you that we always encourage the children to hang their jumpers and coats on their peg when they take them off, and also to bring them in from the playground. Unfortunately despite reminders, the children can get easily distracted when they are busy playing or having fun so getting mixed up with other uniform is inevitable.

We would appreciate if you would please wait until all children have been sent home with their adult collecting before sending your child back in to look for their belongings, so staff can ensure children are sent out safely.  If your child’s belongings have not been left in class, then please do accompany your child to the lost property box after school to search for items found on the playground.

Thank you for your support and patience at home time.

 

Reception Message – Halloween

Children are invited to bring in a Halloween costume next Thursday (23rd) to change into for the afternoon for some dancing and crafts.
Please do not worry, this will be fun and nothing too spooky! No forest school kit will be needed this day.

A reminder this will be the last day for the children before half term as Friday 24th is a PD Day.

Thank you.
The Reception Team :)
