Crew Reception: Community Crew

8th September 2025Lorna Jones

We had a wonderful First Community Crew session this week! It was fantastic to see the children singing so beautifully together in the hall for the first time – such a lovely moment of unity and joy.

The children have also started giving shout-outs to their crew members, celebrating those who have been showing fantastic HOWLs (Habits of Work and Learning) throughout the week. It’s been heartwarming to see their support and encouragement for one another.

A big well done to Clementine and Albie, our HOWL point winners this week! They’ve consistently demonstrated kindness, worked hard, and shown a real commitment to getting smart, a brilliant effort from both of you.

And finally, a huge congratulations to Israel, who has been named Crew Wallace’s Crew Champion this week. Well done, Israel, a truly well-deserved recognition!

What a Wonderful Water Day in Reception!

5th September 2025Lorna Jones

Today, our Reception children and staff enjoyed the most amazing Water Day! It was a fantastic opportunity to take some time out and simply have fun together as a team.

Our outdoor area was transformed into a series of exciting water play stations, including water pistols, bubbles, sponge games, water balls, and even sprinklers to dance under. The laughter was contagious, and although we all ended up absolutely soaked, the smiles on everyone’s faces said it all.

It was a joyful day filled with laughter, teamwork, and unforgettable memories. Look out for the video of the day coming soon!

FWB Pizza Making

4th September 2025Amanda Wallace

As this has been our First Week Back as a full Reception Crew we have been really focussed on Crew building and spending time together. Yesterday we had the treat of making some yummy pizzas with Mr Kershaw and it was fabulous.

Not only did we get to work together but we got to eat lovely pizza treats too.

We had such a lovely time as Reception Crew.

Well done everyone x

We are delighted to invite all parents and carers of children in Reception to our welcome meeting on Monday 15th September from 5.00pm – 6.00pm in the school hall (please use the hall door entrance).

This meeting will be a wonderful opportunity to meet the reception teaching team and to hear more about the exciting year of learning ahead. The meeting will cover many things including phonics, visits and Assessment in the early years. . We can answer any questions that you may have and explore the year ahead together.

Most importantly, this will be a chance to learn about routines and expectations in Reception, and to see how home and school can work together to make this a positive, successful and enjoyable year for every child. We look forward to welcoming you and sharing the exciting journey ahead!

Thank you in advance,

Miss Carter and the F2 Team

Class 4’s fabulous first week!

30th August 2025Lorna Jones

We’ve had another wonderful couple of days with our second group of children, who have also enjoyed a fantastic start to Reception. They made the most of the sunshine outdoors and loved exploring our indoor environment too. There’s been lots of creativity with drawing, imaginative play in small world, relaxing in our new chill space, and plenty of experimenting with the pipes to see how we can move the water just where we want it!

We hope you all have a lovely weekend. We can’t wait to see everyone together on Monday for another exciting week ahead, including our first Parents Stay and Play with stories and s’mores, our very first XP Outdoors session with Mr Kershaw, and of course, our very own Reception Water Day!

Stories and S’mores

28th August 2025Lorna Jones

Come along for an afternoon of fun with storytelling and delicious s’mores. We’ll also be holding a book sale and a toy raffle, a great chance to find something new and exciting!

If you’d like to take part, don’t forget to bring along some change.

We’d love to see you there!
