With our Nativity all over for this year, we were able to watch our Year 1 and 2 friends perform their Christmas Nativity on Tuesday. We absolutely loved it and Reception were so happy and proud of their friends!

In class, we received an unusual telephone which had a red and green hat and some elf-like boots. When the phone finally rang for the first time, our suspicions were right... it was the elves. The elves explained that they are so busy at the moment, they needed some help from Reception… and Reception were desperate to help the elves. First, we needed to help the elves to write their Christmas lists and once we had done this, we then needed to help with their shopping list. The elves have certainly kept us busy this week!

Certificates

Enthusiastic Bobby bee Rory for... Your wonderful enthusiasm and excitement, you are a delight Rory. You have also been very focused this week. I was so impressed with the Cafod card that you made after watching how far some children have to walk to get clean water. Well done Rory!

Enthusiastic Bobby bee Seth for… Being such an enthusiastic member of our class Seth! You were desperate to help the elves this week after they rang our class. This enthusiasm is something that Miss Neves and I notice each and every day, and it is this enthusiasm that has had such a great impact on your achievements this term in school. Well done Seth!

Phonics

This weeks focus word is ‘go’. Please practise reading and writing this word as it is one of our High Frequency words, that we aim for our Reception children to be able to read, by sight, at the end of Reception. Thank you.

Silly Socks and Christmas jumper day

If you forgot to bring in your £1 on Friday, please bring this in on Monday so that we are able to send the money off to Brian House.

Christmas Cards

Please bring in your CAFOD donations before Wednesday next week so that we are able to sit down as a class and choose what World gifts we will buy. Thank you.

Christmas party

On Thursday we have our infant Christmas party. Your child can come into school wearing their favourite party clothes (just make sure they have shoes that are suitable for play times outside). As a treat, the children are allowed to bring in one still drink and one snack, such as; juice or a milkshake, a chocolate bar, biscuit bar or crisps.

We hope that you all have a wonderful weekend together as a family.

Miss Bassett, Miss Neves and Mrs Malley
