Carol Service Tomorrow

 Hi Reception Families,

Just a quick reminder about the Carol Service tomorrow.

Children will bring home a costume with them tomorrow, we have mixed some of the costumes up to give children different experiences. 

Please bring children to St Mary's Church at 4:45 dressed in their costume (we can help if needed) please bring the children to the far corner and staff will be there to meet them.

The carol service is a truly wonderful Inspiredtolearn event and we would love to see as many families as possible attend.

Children will be watching the pantomime in school tomorrow afternoon, and every child need a 'wrapped' packed lunch on Friday!

We're having a wonderful end of term!

Bears, Teddy Bears and Tap Tap Boards

 Hi Reception Families,

Well, we had another busy week!

This week we have been learning about bears from around the world, can the children tell you how fast a black bear can run? Or how many hours of the day a panda eats?

We also learnt how Teddy Bears have changed over time and had some very special visitors!

In maths we focussed on the different ways you can make numbers to five.

We had a wonderful time using the Tap Tap Boards and Magnets this week (they would make a fabulous Christmas present!)

We loved Going on a Bear Hunt in Drawing Club this week!

We thrilled by the snowy weather this week too! Although lots of children thought that meant it was Christmas which was very sweet! Albeit disappointing that in fact it was just a Thursday!

Don't Forget it's our Christmas Story 'Round the Back' this Friday at 3.10 in the hall, I know the children are really looking forward to sharing it with you!

Turning our attention to next week:

Drawing Club: Stickman

Maths: Introducing counting to 10

Understanding the World: Seasons and The Christmas Story.

If you we can do anything to help, please do get in touch.
