Reception – Term 6, Week 6

  • Please alert your child’s class teacher when your child has filled up one side of their bookmark. 
  • Please find the lunch menu by clicking here
  • Please use the school calendar to find up-coming dates. 
  • Please make sure your child has a coat in school every day. We will go outside even when it is cold and raining.
  • Please do not allow your child to play with the resources that are on the Reception patio in the morning. These have been carefully positioned and are there to support your child’s learning during the school day.

This week, the children loved building boats to see if they would float! Alongside this, they have loved using water to keep cool during their outside play times.

This week our focus is on Literacy. See if you can make a story map of your own story or one you enjoy. Label some of the important characters, places and events on your map.

You can also send us any moments that you feel are significant in your child’s learning or want to share with your child’s class teachers. Click the links below to find out how to add observations from different devices.
