Another crazy week in Reception has come to an end. As the temperature begins to drop, the children have fully embraced the joy of winter. We have been learning all about the polar regions, exploring the properties of ice, baked some puff pastry icicles, waddled like penguins and made an unbelievable snow storm out of polystyrene. Gosh, don't try this at home! Our poor hoover!  Next week, we are looking forward to our trip to 'Imagine That'. The children need to come to school in their uniform with a warm coat. If you haven't informed us of your child's preferred sandwich choice, please send them to school with their own packed lunch. 

The children have been working so hard, learning all of their letter sounds and perfecting their 'Fred Fingers'. We have now managed to assess everyone and the children are all now in smaller teaching groups for our daily English lessons. Many children are revisiting some of the sounds that we have already covered. This is absolutely fine as it has been a whistle-stop journey so far. Please check your child's reading folder for a letter explaining everything. If you have any questions, please feel free to drop us a line. 

Next week, we welcome a new member of our Reception family. Miss Blundy will begin her teaching placement and she is raring to go. The children met her today and are very much looking forward to working with her over the next few months.

Wishing everyone a wonderful, wintery weekend.

Take care!

The Reception Team.
