Reception - This week....

Hello everyone,

This week has already proved to be a very busy week. Many of you may have noticed Amanda in the classroom. This will be the situation until Mrs. Howell returns after Easter. I know Mrs. Howell would like to say a bi thank you to everyone for the card and flowers that she received on Thursday last week! The children have all been very keen to continue their relationships with Amanda from when they were at pre-school! 

Back to this week! We are due to go to the farm tomorrow morning. As usual, please come to school with wellies, coats and play clothes on your bottom half. This time, the trip to the farm will be looking at spring and what happens on a farm at this time of the year. We will hopefully have some good pictures to share with you. Thank you to everyone that has volunteered to help with the trip. 

Also this week we have red nose day on Friday. A letter has already gone out explaining that children can wear red clothes on this day along with a funny accessory. Please consider donating what you can to the Comic Relief cause. At the end of the day on Friday there will be a 'Pay for a Pie' station where some brave members of staff will be waiting for you to throw a 'pie' at them! Again, this is to help raise money. 
Also, this week and next week you may be aware that we are taking part in 'The Big Pedal' event. This encourages as many children as possible to ride either a bike or scooter into school. Lots of you went to the 'Bike-it breakfast' this morning too! We are recording the numbers each day. These numbers are then compared locally and we could win a prize! 

Finally, just a small note to say that next Friday 31st March there will be another 'Learning Journey morning'  in school first thing from 8.45-9.30pm. You are welcome to come into school and look through your child's learning journey and stay to play with them too. All the staff will also be hand to answer any questions you may have.
