Reception Thursday 12th November 2020

 

Good evening,

A few things to update you on..................

• Tomorrow, as I am sure you are aware, it is Children in Need Day - children may wear something spotty OR a bright coloured top. We will collect voluntary donations in class. Thank you.

• Thank you for all the very unique and creative poppies we had in, our wreath was placed in town by Year 4. Yesterday we heald a minutes silence after discussing the Cbeebies animation and the meaning of Remembrance Day. The children were very thoughtful and understanding, and actually quite moved. They loved designing their own poppies, thinking about the shapes of the petals, the size and the colours resulting in some beautiful, independent and individual pieces of art.

• Thank you for returning library books today;all children had the opportunity to choose two new library books. Keep them at home for the week, they do not need to come backwards and forwards - children love re-reading and sharing familiar and favourite stories.

• Those using RWInc books, your new ones will come home tomorrow - please DO NOT return them before the following Thursday as the RWInc ethos is that they are kept at home and the child can repeatedly re-read them to develop fluency and confidence.

• Tomorrow, each child will come home with their Power Maths workbook. This is to stay at home until the Christmas Holiday, when we will ask for it ot be returned. This week, please share the pages that refer to week 1 at the top (do not be tempted to carry on through th book). There are deeper learning questions at the bottom of the page which you can use if you child needs to be extended.

We have continued to learn about pirates this week, developing our crew's skills in PE today! Exploring different ways to move around our pirate ship aparatus! We also need to test different ways to roll, rolling away from cannon balls! Many of our pirate crew have designed, cut out and attached their very own pirate hats as well as create their own ship's flag! We had to be very vigilant as pirates, drawing and writing down what we could see through our telescopes - you wouldn't believe what we saw!!!!!!

We successfully filled our dragon gem jar, so watch this space for a team treat next week!!!!!!!!!!!!

Please could you send in any junk modelling, old christmas cards, wrapping paper, buttons, sequins or ribbon that you may have, a carrier bag full from everyone would be amazing!

Thanks to you all once again, and thankyou for all your positive, supportive smily faces each day!

Mrs. J, Mrs. Smith and Mrs. Hibberd.
