Reception Phonics Drop in

We had a wonderful time at our phonics drop in. We tried lots of activities and were excited to show our grown ups what we do in our phonics sessions.

A huge thank you to all of the grown ups who could attend. We hope it will be useful in supporting you to support your children with their phonics learning.

Reception: Christmas Photo Shoot – Tuesday 14th October

On Tuesday 14th October, Reception will be holding a Christmas Photo Shoot Day. The photos taken will be professionally printed and made available for purchase at our upcoming Christmas event – a perfect keepsake or gift for family and friends!

Please send your child to school on this day dressed in the outfit you would like them to wear for their photo. This can be a festive outfit, smart clothes, or anything special you’d like them to be photographed in.

We’re looking forward to capturing some lovely, festive memories!

What a Fantastic American-Themed Day!

The children have had a wonderful time today celebrating our American-themed day! They thoroughly enjoyed their themed lunch, choosing between delicious chicken burgers or classic hotdogs, followed by a sweet treat of chocolate brownies and mini donuts – a real hit all around!

In Reception, the fun started early with some lively dancing in the hall led by Mrs Rayner, which got everyone moving and smiling. Later on, we had a fantastic musical session with Mr Pickles, who truly rocked it on the guitar! The children had a brilliant time joining in, playing along enthusiastically with their drumsticks.

It’s been a day full of energy, laughter, and great memories!

Reception: special visitors!

A huge thank you to nursery for allowing us down yesterday to come and see the two piglets that Miss Myers kindly brought in from her farm to enhance the nursery children’s learning this week. The children showed great care for the Pickles’s and enjoyed spending time with them and giving them a little stroke. The little piglet was so comfortable he even took a little nap.

Reception: Phonics Family Learning

We are looking forward to seeing you for a Phonics Family Learning style session on 7th October 2-3pm. This session will explain what our phonics sessions look like, the vocabulary used and what you can do to support your child at home. we will share some information at the start of the session and then you will get some time for your child to join you in some phonics games before the session ends. Please arrive at the Ash tree road gate to sign in at the Hall from 2pm

If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to ask a member of the F2 team.

Reception: Community Crew 29th September

Another wonderful Community Crew session this week!

It was a real joy to see the children singing together so beautifully in the hall, a lovely moment of unity and celebration that truly captured the spirit of our school community.

This week, the children have also given shout-outs to their fellow crew members, recognising those who have demonstrated fantastic HOWLs (Habits of Work and Learning). It’s been heartwarming to witness the genuine support and encouragement they’re showing one another – a true reflection of our shared values.

A huge well done to Verity and Storm, our HOWL Point winners this week! Both have shown consistent kindness, worked hard, and demonstrated a real commitment to getting smart, a brilliant effort from you both.

Congratulations also to Ella and Clementine, who received our very first Healthy Eating postcards for always eating all of their school dinners. Keep it up!

And finally, a special congratulations to our Crew Champions this week: Henry from Crew Wallace and Jayden from Crew Jones. Your efforts and attitudes have truly stood out, a well-deserved recognition!

Well done to everyone for a fantastic week!
