It was absolutely wonderful to welcome the children back into school on Monday morning. It was lovely to hear that everybody enjoyed a fantastic time over the Christmas holidays with their families! The children have all written thank you cards to Father Christmas because they are still so delighted with their Christmas gifts. Miss Neves and I can really see that’s lots of them have been busy practising their letter formation over the holidays!

Certificates

Creative Kiki Chameleon Grace for... being brave and using your own imagination and ideas. It was wonderful to see your confidence grow when making a robot with Miss Neves. You came up with so many ideas of ways to create a special robot and all of your friends have had great fun trying to name him. Well done Grace.

Creative Kiki Chameleon William for… thinking of such great ideas and questions during our discussions and learning. You are such a delightful boy, who looks at the world with such excitement and imagination. It is always so wonderful to see and hear you as you work with others with such kindness, co-operation and imagination. Well Done William.

The children have been introduced to their new story focus, ‘The Queen’s hat’. They all absolutely loved the story and found it very comical at the end. It was lovely to hear some of the children share their own experiences of London and the exciting places they had visited.

Within maths we have been thinking about time and ordering the days of the week. Alongside this, we have really focused on using the vocabulary: yesterday, today and tomorrow. To help us, we have learnt a few days of the week songs to help our memory with this.

In PE we are currently really focusing on the two skills: jumping and hopping. Why not set a challenge: How many hops/jumps can you do in a row?

At the end of the week we celebrated mass and once again, Reception behaved beautifully in God’s house. They walked to church with their Year 6 partner, and seeing their delight and happiness throughout their time in church was just beautiful to see.

We hope you have a wonderful weekend,

Miss Bassett, Miss Neves and Mrs Malley
