Reception World Book Day

Today we celebrated our annual World Book Day.

We had such a great day. Thank you to everyone for providing wonderful costumes. We enjoyed a class costume parade, took part in a ‘name that book’ quiz, scoring the top score of ten points! We had a book hunt, a very special assembly and enjoyed lots of stories. We also enjoyed our book swap session. A packed day of celebrating books.

Reception World Book Day Message

We look forward to celebrating World Book Day this Thursday.

Don’t forget to bring in an old book you have finished with (good condition) to take part in our school book swap so you can take a cool book home that is new to you!

Costumes are encouraged as well as cosy pyjamas. As this is a PE day, please do not wear or bring in kit for this day, but please do bring in a change of trainers or wear trainers so you can still take part in your lesson. We also ask for a warm coat to wear for PE and playtimes.

Thank you for your support.

Update regarding entry point near Reception

Please note that the gate adjacent to the Reception classrooms will no longer be used as an exit or entry point onto the school site at the start of the day and at home time. If you usually enter or exit through this point, then please use the gate a little further along (via the quiet area, past the carved Bear) instead. This is to ensure that the equipment in the Reception classroom outside area remains set up and accessed by Reception children only. This will take effect as of Thursday morning.

Thank you for your support.

Happy New Year Reception

Happy New Year to all!

We hope you had a lovely break and enjoyed the Christmas and New Year festivities. We cannot wait to hear all about it tomorrow.

A reminder that Reception children are invited to bring in one toy for a special show and tell session tomorrow afternoon. Please do not send in anything electronic or with small parts that could get lost. Please name your toy where possible so we can ensure it goes home with the right person.

Forest school days remain the same for the Spring term, so please bring warm and waterproof kits with wellies on a Monday to change into.

PE days for Reception have changed this term. They will now be as follows: Thursday morning (Outdoor crossbar session) and Friday afternoon (Indoor sessions). Children need to come dressed in warm PE kits and trainers on these days. Please ensure this is the correct Newdale PE kit.

Any questions, then please do ask via the reading diary or via our class email.

We look forward to seeing you tomorrow.

The Reception Team.

Merry Christmas Reception 🌲 ⛄️

We have had a lovely couple of days in Reception in the lead up to the holidays.
We learnt to play a Christmas board game. Our teachers were so impressed with how we could take turns.
We had a treat on Friday afternoon. We all had our very own golden ticket, danced and then watched “The Polar Express” film drinking hot chocolate and eating popcorn!

We would like to take this opportunity to say a huge well done to everyone in Reception for completing their first full term in school. Everyone has worked incredibly hard and we can see such great progress.
Thank you to all families for your ongoing support at home too.
Enjoy a well earned rest over the holidays and we look forward to seeing you all safe and sound in the New Year.
Merry Christmas 🎄
The Reception Team.

Fun in the Snow ⛄️ ❄️

Today we had an amazing time in the snow!
We went out in the real snow ❄️ but also were the first to try out school’s brand new magic snowballs that do not melt. 😊
We had snowball fights – particularly enjoying throwing them at the teachers!
Check out the action pictures…

Author Visit!

Today we had a special visit from a real author. Luke Temple, the author of The Blubber Monster, Albert and the Giant Squid and The Blubber Monster’s Crown told us all about his books. It was so exciting. We listened to parts of his amazing stories. He will be in school tomorrow for book signing.
