Trains, planting and magic seeds

 Hi Reception Families,

We had a fantastic week, it has been so nice to play outside so much this week!

In Understanding the World we were we learning about trains in the past and trains now. We built our own trains outside and had lots of fun being the train driver.  We have continued to take care of our sunflowers and enjoyed planting some flowers for us all to enjoy.

In English we started our new focus the lovely story of So Much! Ms Evans, Mrs Rogers and Mrs Hibbered spoke about the things they loved 'so much' as a child and we looked back at pictures of the children when they were small. This will continue to be our focus until the end of half term.

On Thursday Ms Evans introduced 'Magic Seeds' we made predictions about what would happen if we got the seeds wet and spent lots of lovely time counting, organising and using our imaginations with them.  

We had a fantastic time with the Cricket Workshop and Wessex Music Roadshow.

Moving our Attention to next week:

It's our class assembly at 2:30 on Friday all are welcome to come, we've got some lovely things to share with you.

Reception will be taking in part in the round house weaving on Monday, PE continues to be on Tuesdays.

As the weather (hopefully) continues to get warmer, please ensure that children attend school with a hat and drinks bottle, please please please ensure there is a name tag in the hat!  We would request that children do not bring sunglasses to school.

Children will need sun cream, we spend a lot of time outside. We would request that you use an 8 hour suncream which you apply before school, if we need to apply suncream to the whole class, we will not get anything else done! Boots sell a great range of 8hr suncreams, if this is not possible, please provide your child with a clearly labelled roll on  sunscreen and spend some time showing them how to apply it as they will need to do this independently with an adult observing.

We've had a number of children off this week, please ensure that if children have sickness or diarrhea they only return to school 48 hrs after the last bout of illness, maintaining this Dorset Council policy ensures the wellbeing of all members of the class, and in particular those with additional health needs. 

As ever if there is anything we can help with please do get it in touch.

Ms Evans and the Reception Team
