Reception Christmas Songs

We hope you are looking forward to our Winter Wonderland sing along next week.

🎄 🎶

We have been busy practising Christmas songs and thought you might enjoy helping to learn them together at home too! As you can imagine Reception are quite young to be learning so many words. They really are trying so hard and we know you will be proud of them.

Here are the songs we will be singing:
Jingle Bells
Rudolph the red nose reindeer
When Santa got stuck up the chimney
Santa Claus is coming to town
We wish you a merry Christmas

We look forward to seeing you next week.

The Reception Team :)

Farm on Wheels

We have had a wonderful day in Reception today. We had some special visitors 🦃 🐑 🐓.

Farm on Wheels visited us here at school, bringing along a donkey, a sheep, chickens, a turkey and a guinea pig. We were able to stroke the animals whilst we learnt all about the animals from the farmer and how they are taken care of.

Farm on Wheels

The children had lots of fun today when the Farm on wheels paid us a visit. We were lucky enough to see a Donkey, Sheep , Turkey, Chickens and a Guinea Pig. The lady told us whether they were a boy or a girl , told us about their appearance and we even got to stroke them all. We were very careful and made sure we washed our hands carefully after we returned to class.

Parent/ Carer Survey

Many thanks to all of the parents who took the time to complete and return a parent survey.  Your child’s name was recorded on the surveys as they were given back to school and three winners were chosen at random.  The winners are:

Mila – Nursery

Logan – Year 5

Kira – Reception

Congratulations! A £50 Asda voucher will be handed to you by your child’s class teacher this week.

The surveys are still being read and analysed by our staff team. Please keep your eyes peeled on the website for a response over the next few weeks.

Reception Star 💫

Congratulations Primrose for being this weeks reception star. You have been trying so hard to win this achievement! This week you have blown us away with your wonderful writing all by yourself. We couldn’t quite believe our eyes. Well done to you.

26.11.21 Christmas update

Dear Parents/Carers,

Over the next few weeks, we have let you know of some very exciting events that we have got planned for the children to get them into the festive spirit.

As a school, we are continuing to tightly follow COVID-19 guidelines to ensure that we keep the virus at bay. In line with these guidelines, if your child is attending the cinema or pantomime, it is optional for them to wear face coverings on the coach and when seated in the theatre. Members of staff will ensure that there is ventilation on the coaches as we know that this is key to limiting the spread of transmission. Hand gel will also be provided to the children on the trips at relevant intervals. We are tightly following the risk assessment guidelines issued by the theatre.

As mentioned in previous parent correspondence, if your child is feeling unwell or displaying symptoms, please refrain from sending them into school and take a precautionary test.

Please refer to class pages on the website for further information about year group specific events.

Many thanks

Miss Cook

 

Christmas cards in school

As Christmas comes increasingly closer, your child may be preparing for the annual Christmas card writing session! As in previous years, we will be isolating cards before we send them out. In order for us to do this, the last date that classes will accept cards will be Friday 10th December – no cards will be accepted in after this date. This is to allow the Newdale elves time to sort and send the cards to the correct people!
