We would like to update with you with staffing in Reception after half term.  Mrs Stevens, teaching assistant based in Miss Hailey’s class, will be moving from the Reception team to support in another year group for the remainder of this academic year. We would like to thank Mrs Stevens for all her hard work supporting the Reception children in their first year at school.

Morning Reception!

What an exciting day, to look outside and see everywhere covered in snow again. We know you will be so excited to wrap up warm and get out there building snowmen (We would love to see your creations on EvidenceMe).

This week you have been busy in school learning about creating ‘repeating patterns’ and we made our own repeating patterns using the animal footprints  in the playdough. Maybe you could make real life repeating patterns outside in the snow using your own footprints today, or even with your family’s footprints too!

Can you draw any snowy day pictures?

We usually have PE on a Friday afternoon, which we know you all love. So if you are outside today this sounds like the perfect opportunity to keep warm by keeping active. Can you make some snow angels? Could you have a competition to see who can throw a snowball the furthest?

Mrs Thomas will be sending home some Read, Write, Inc videos as usual on a Friday, so if after your adventures you want to get warm back inside, then please pop these on while you have a warm drink and watch together, followed by a cosy storytime.

Thank you

The Reception Team

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.

Welcome back to the second half of Spring term. We look forward to welcoming you back tomorrow for exciting new learning!

PE days and Forest school days remain the same as last half term.

Forest schools – Monday afternoon. Please bring wellies and waterproofs in a kit bag to change into in the afternoon.

PE – Thursday outdoor / Friday Indoor. Please come dressed in PE kit on those days, ensuring this is the correct uniform kit with no brand logos on.

Thank you

The Reception Team.
