Weekly news 25/9/20

 

We have had a great week in Reception this week. The children have settled in  whole classes really well and its lovely to see lots of friendships being made.

We have spent a lot of time outside exploring our outdoor areas. The water shoots and builder role play areas have been very popular. We also took the children up to the woodland area for a tour to show them how to use the mud kitchen, the bird watching area under a canopy which has spotter sheets and binoculars, our loose parts construction area and music area too. The children are very excited to have more time exploring up there next week.

We will be doing lots of outdoor learning and this year and so please make sure your child has brought in their wellies and puddle suits. Especially if they are staying for lunch on Monday as they will be having their outdoor lunch play on the woodland so will need to wear their wellies. We have practiced putting on welly boots, coats and puddle suits this week. Please can you encourage your child to do this at home themselves as with only one adult and 30 children they will have to wait a long time for help at lunch time. We met our lunch time teachers Mrs Cornhill and Mrs Gaul on Thursday and Friday who will be with them every lunch time. They did a tour of the school hall and were shown where to line up and how to clear their dinner trays at the end.

We have enjoyed looking through the children’s all about me books and finding out about each other. Thank you to those children who have brought in their favourite books which we will be sharing over the next few weeks. We are just missing a few children’s stories if they can bring theirs in next week please.

We would also like to ask if you can make sure your child has a spare set of cloths at school (and socks) so they can get changed if they do get wet at lunch times.

Have a lovely weekend,

The Reception team
