Reception February week 1

Well, what a week! A day in school in the snow! Wow! It was fantastic fun sharing this experience with all our friends - snow balls, snow angels and even a "snow Spracklen" and "snow Reception" were built!

This week we shared the story of Prince Cinders by Babette Cole and compared it to Cinderella. We decided the actions of the sisters and brothers were a bad example to set so HAD to write speech bubbles conveying our messages to them!

We have designed new shoes for Cinderella, made new clothes to go to the ball, made stick puppets to retell the stories, checked to find the owner of the shoes. Tomorrow we will be building clock towers telling us when 12 o' clock is, carrying out a stock take of Cinderella's salon, collecting data and so much more...............

We cannot wait for the ball on Friday - COME TO SCHOOL DRESSED AS A PRINCE OR PRINCESS FOR THE DAY. The ball is at 2pm and parents are invited in to the PRE-SCHOOL HALL at 3pm (dressed up too if you wish!!!!!!!!)

Thank you for the amazing jelly fish that have been swimming into the classroom - do keep them coming in as they will be on display in the corridor next week!

Next week is Science week, if you make a science experiment or invention that you would like to share at the science fair NEXT THURSDAY, bring it in then and parents are invited to come along to the fair too!

Forest schools tomorrow for Winnie, Rabbit and Owl group.

Thank you to all the families I have met with so far at the Parents Evening sessions, it has been a real pleasure to talk to you about your wonderful children and their very first year in school so far. It is a real privilege to be a part of this milestone and a part of their journey through school.
