Reception w/b 27th November

Date: 1st Dec 2023 @ 8:47pm

Well, goodness me, what a joyful celebration of your wonderful children we all enjoyed this morning. We are so incredibly proud of the hard work, bravery, enthusiasm, joy and ‘sparkle’ that we observed on the stage today. The Reception staff team feel so very proud of the children and we hope that the children feel just as proud of themselves after all of their hard work over the last few weeks. It really is an incredible achievement to stand on a stage and perform in front of 120 people at only 4 and 5 years old. Such superstars! Thank you ever so much for your wonderful support with costuming, learning of lines/songs (I’m sure many of you know the songs as well as we do!) and your encouragement and belief which no doubt helped the children to perform so beautifully. A joyous experience!

Whilst phonics, reading and name writing have continued, we have allowed plenty of time for child-initiated play and learning, so as not to place too much demand on the children in a busy week of preparations. We are looking forward to returning to our routine of short literacy, maths and afternoon exploring sessions with the addition of an abundance of festive enhancements. Christmas has well and truly arrived in Reception!

I hope that you all enjoy the restful, relaxing weekend that you most certainly deserve.

Well done Reception and many thanks to all parents and carers,

Miss Witham
