Kapla, sky scrapers, and making purple

 Hi Reception Families,

What a busy week we had!

On Monday we had our fantastic Kapla workshop, the children really enjoyed the workshop. We also started our learning about China, we started with a fantastic play project where we learnt about Sky Scrapers. On Tuesday we learnt all about The Great Wall of China!


Thank you for all those who came to our Maths Mastery session on Tuesday morning. If you were unable to make it, your child should have brought home some home learning this week. These are very simple, straight forward activities you can do every day at home with your child, there is a feedback sheet to complete and return to school. We would really like to see these. There will be a six week focus on maths home learning. Whilst on the subject of homework after positive feedback from parents about how much the children are enjoying home learning I have sent home the usual sheet as well, if you only complete one, please complete the maths work. For the time being we will continue to have a 'colouring' focus as this is an area of development for lots of children.


On Wednesday we had our HSBC money sense workshop and on Thursday we really enjoyed making the colour purple in art!

All the children enjoyed playing in our Chinese Restaurant this week too!


Moving our attention to next week:

Understanding the World: Luna New Year

Drawing Club: The Magic Paintbrush

Maths: More or Fewer

Art: Making Grey.

Inset day on Friday.


A Note about Snack:

The government recommends that children are provided with a healthy snack to have during the day, such as fruit, which we provide. We are seeing an increasing number of children bringing in crisps or biscuits for snack, please ensure if you are providing your child with a snack, it is a healthy one.

A Reminder: Children are not allowed to bring toys in from home, please ensure that your child does not bring anything with them, it causes difficulties as these toys may get lost or broken.


Well I can't believe the first half of the Spring Term is almost complete, what a whirlwind! The children are being brilliant!


If there is anything you need help with or would like to discuss please do get in touch.
