Welcome to Reception 2018-19

We hope your children enjoyed making and eating the gingerbread men this week.

Take a look at our gallery and see us having fun making the gingerbread men!

Next week the children will be listening to the story of the Three Billy Goats Gruff. They will also be using positional and directional language in maths and in their outdoor play.

We have recently had a couple of cases of nits in reception. If your child has long hair please ensure that they come to school with their hair tied back.

Our topic for this half term is Traditional Tales, we will be sharing lots of traditional tales including The Gingerbread Man, The Little Red Hen, The Three Billy Goats Gruff, Goldilocks and the Three Bears, Jack and the Beanstalk and Little Red Riding Hood.

Please share these stories with your children, the local library has a collection of traditional tales that the children will love discovering.

Take a look at our recent new gallery items showing the children having fun on our DT emotional wellbeing day. They made musical instruments out of junk, took Lego challenges and used various techniques to decorate love hearts. They also enjoy playing with a range of construction toys, both following plans and designing their own creations.

The children have also been using Learn Pad tablets, take a look at the photos in the gallery.
