Welcome to Reception
During the Spring term we have been learning about Cold Places, the Garage and Road Safety, then the Chinese New Year story and celebrations. In science we have explored what happens to water when it freezes then melts. The children are looking forward to having the opportunity to taste some Chinese food and sort healthy and unhealthy food. After half term we are going to explore some traditional tales, as the children are enjoying making castles! As we approach Easter the focus will turn to New Life and the Easter story.

PE is every Friday morning. This is a reminder for children with earrings - you need to either take the earrings out on a Friday or provide plasters to cover them. This is a part of their PE kit too. Please help your child to be more independent in putting on and off their own clothes and make sure all clothes are clearly named. Thank you!

The WOW Factor
Thank you to those who have provided work that their children have done at home. We would still love to see any work your children have done at home that you think is “WOW”. It can be a piece of writing, number work, a photo of something you have done or made… anything!! This term we are focusing on finding number and calculation evidence. So if your child has counted out up to 20 objects or can add or take away 2 numbers or find one more or less, please let us know or take a photo/copy of their work.
