Reception week commencing 2nd December 2019

Good morning to you all,

A week full of mixed emotions..............whilst we have had the most exciting start to December with our North Pole Research Station, STEM week and a ride on a train through the school, many of us have been very poorly!

To those of you who are not well, Mrs. Smith and I send you our love and best wishes - "Get well soon!"

There seem to be a few different bugs floating around - chicken pox, shingles, a nasty virus with a hacking cough and a tummy bug. Please allow 48 hours from the last episode of being ill to return to school, if your child has had a tummy bug. Please be reassured that we will keep a close eye on all the children in our class and will not hesitate to call you if they are unwell.

This week has been a spectacular STEM enrichment experience for the children where they have been immersed in an array of STEM activities. Please come in on Friday afternoon to see the work the children have been doing, in the hall. There will also be a Power Maths workshop the same afternoon, run by Mr. Gibson.

FYI in advance - NEXT FRIDAY is Christmas craft morning as well as the school fayre in the afternoon. The children will NOT need book bags on this day, they CAN wear home clothes and a christmas jumper. There will also be a sign up sheet in the classroom next week for our christmas party lunch!

Home Learning - thank you for all the pictures that have been emailed in, the children have thoroughly enjoyed sharing them and speaking with confidence infront of the class. We will be having a focus on handwriting and letter formation, the children will be sent home with their home learning books and a RWInc letter formation sheet. Should you wish to take more and different letters over the week, we will have a tray with them in that you can take from whenever you like!

See you soon and get well soon!

All our love, Mrs. Johnson and Mrs. Smith!
