Reception learning a new skill in PE!
This week in PE the reception children have been practicing the skill of dribbling a ball. The children listened carefully, following instructions to take it in turns to dribble the ball and score points with their partners! Here are some of our skillls in action!
Reception Community Crew
What a wonderful community crew meeting we have had today! The children absolutely blew me away with their explanations of beautiful work, their shout outs for each other and their excitement of each other’s achievements! They really are a great reception crew! Huge congratulations to Finley and Freya for being HOWL point winners this week! An even bigger congratulations to our first crew champions of the spring term Mason and Reuben! You make us all so proud everyday and your kindness and beautiful work really shines! What role models!
Reception Family Learning
We had a great afternoon learning about the secrets of sleep and a great bedtime routine. We were so lucky that lots of grown ups came to support us. We read some stories, had some hot chocolate and biscuits, practised brushing our teeth and enjoyed relaxing together.

Thanks so much to all of the children and grown ups that made it so lovely ☺️

Expert visitor in Reception
We were so lucky to have Mrs Booth and her 2 children join us for our Expedition session this morning. We are looking at how we grow and it was great to see some children of different ages and stages. We had lots of questions and we will be checking in again with the children again to see how they are progressing.
The children were lovely and calm to make sure the babies felt happy and safe.
Well done F2 and thank you Mrs Booth

Reception Reading books*Please read*
I know that many parents are aware that we are changing how we are supporting children with their reading, moving forward. Please read the attached letter and complete the google form above.
As soon as a parent has signed the google form to say that they agree, your child will come home with their set of reading books, which will be changed on a Friday from now on.
In the meantime, please don’t worry that you don’t have school books over the weekend because any books that you read will count towards your school reading challenge.
Thank you for your support with this change
Reception Family Learning
Reception family learning is on Wednesday 15th January. Please send your child into school wearing their pyjamas, dressing gowns, normal school shoes and coat. Do not send your child in slippers as we will still be accessing outdoor play.
Our family learning session is from 2pm in the School Hall. We will be reading stories, singing songs, explore what good oral health is and talking about the importance of a good night sleep. We hope that all children will have a member of their family to join us.
We look forward to seeing you there.
