What a lovely week we have had. It might have been cold and wet at times but that has not stopped us learning!
This week we have been thinking all about the story of “The Snowman”. We’ve looked at the story and then ordered this. We’ve made snowflake pictures, decorated snowman biscuits, created our own snowmen and built up a bank of words that link to cold and frosty weather.
In RE this week, we have written our Advent promises and decorated our angels. We have revisited the story of the Nativity, retelling it in our own words and using construction toys.
Please can you practise the words that have been sent home tonight for our Christmas Nativity? Many thanks. Our Nativity goes live on the website for you to watch as a family on the last day of ter,.
In Maths we have been continuing to organise and count objects, recognising that the last number in the count tells us ‘how many’ things there are altogether in a set of objects. A key focus this week has been the deepening of our understanding of 5 as a quantity by linking the number itself to the 5 fingers on one hand.
In Read Write Inc this week we have learnt three new sounds and had more fun segmenting and blending words orally.
For ‘rrrr’ we go ‘down his back and then curl over his arm’.
For ‘j..j..j’ we go ‘down the body, curl and dot’.
For ‘vvvv’ we go “down a wing, up a wing.’
We have added these sounds to the flashcard sets
Kidsafe - This week we have continued with our Kidsafe lessons, We have talked about bullying and how we can say stop if someone continues to do things that upset us in any way. KS told the children that this was happening to him and they were able to explain to KS what he should do.

Wren is an Enthusiastic Bobby Bee - You have been so enthusiastic and eager to join in with everything this week Wren. Your smiling face has really lit up the classroom and you have had a go with all of the learning opportunities. Well done Wren - keep up the good work!
Dexter is an Enthusiastic Bobby Bee too - You have really enjoyed all of the learning this week Dexter and joined in with everything with a cheery smile and oodles of enthusiasm. Because you have been so enthusiastic, you have encouraged other children in class to be enthusiastic too. Well done Dexter!
Christmas Charity Fundraising - After great discussion about how to restart our charity work the children agreed that if every family donates £5 we will be able to raise a large sum to present to Brian House. Mrs Hodges has organised ParentPay so that each family and members of staff can make a charitable donation. Thank you for all of your kind donations. If you have not yet managed to make your donation, there is still time to do so through ParentPay. Thank you.
Today we had our Silly Sock (or tights) with uniform day. It was lovely to see all of the fun socks and tights that the children were wearing.
Next week - Friday 10th December - Christmas themed clothes day (a jumper, a t-shirt or simply Christmas colours).
Have a lovely weekend,
The Reception Team
