Reception.............first few days!

We hope you all enjoyed your first three days and are energised for our first full week!!!!!!


We had a mysterious suitcase left for us on Thursday with a rather sticky mess of marmalade sandwiches as well as a blanket and pillow, a map and a letter. We were able to match the country to the one on the world map on our TV and discovered it was Peru in South America. Needless to say, our visitor revealed themselves on Friday..........it was Paddington!!!!! The children decided we should make marmalade sandwiches to cheer him up as he was feeling a little home sick!!!!!
Paddington has moved into the house in Reception and we are going to make him feel very welcome!
Edie even designed a raincoat for him!

Congratulations to Henry C and Edie who reached 10 tokens and were able to choose a prize from the treasure box. It was also lovely to praise the whole class during praise assembly, celebrating how settled in they were. Years 1 and 2 welcomed us as we stood and bravely waved at them all.


We are focussing on our tidying up skills and being kind to others at the moment.

You should all have received an email sent yesterday asking you to create an account with Tapestry. This is an electronic learning journey which will track the children's learning against the early learning goals and will notify you of this as well as you also being able to add your own evidence. This is different to Marvellous Me which will be used more for WOW moments.

A junk modelling plea..........please could you collect a few items of card board packaging or plastic containers that are clean, and simply add them to the junk modelling box in the classroom - we would like to replenish it daily as the children love using it and it is such a valuable resource. (NOT toilet rolls - thank you)

We hope you have found time to enjoy your time to talk home learning and look forward to reading what you discussed. There is no hurry for this to be in, but we will be sending home a new one each Friday.

The first Parents Information session is tomorrow morning at 9:00am in the school hall.

See you all tomorrow,

Mrs. Johnson and the Reception Team.
