More Story Time

Hi Everyone,

Me again, with another update. I hope you are all staying safe and finding things to do to fill your days. This link may help: https://www.worldofdavidwalliams.com/elevenses/

David Walliams has announced that he will be releasing 30 free audio stories to help entertain school children during the coronavirus crisis.

Enjoy 11am with a story from much-loved children's author David Walliams.

Story Time

Parents, if you are struggling to find a way to explain to your child what is currently happening in the world, please take a look at this story and see if you think it is suitable to share with your child/children.

I feel that it gives a very simple, clear message and may help our children understand a little bit more during this unprecedented time.

Home Learning

Home Learning Week Beginning 23rd March

Dear Reception Parents,

We hope you and the children are well and are keeping safe and busy during this unprecedented time.

We will post home learning activities every Monday, for as long as is required. During this time with the children, we would advise keeping to a schedule or routine that best suits everyone in your family. Simply adjusting their usual weekend routines to include a few short sessions of learning time will help to keep them engaged with learning at home. It is also important to include time away from screens, so please do build in activity breaks.

Keep safe and keep learning.

Kind Regards,

Reception Team

Please complete the work you received in your home learning packs.

READING: 

Please read you school books and have a look at any other books you may have in the house. Can you spot any of the tricky words we have learned?

Alternative:

Free online ebooks for your child to read and share featuring familiar character

Keep their creative minds active. Re-use recycling to create works of art. Can you create a space rocket, car or an aeroplane and create a story for it?

Book Shop Trip

Today we walked over to Foyles book shop where we got to select a book and pay for it with our book token. We showed a good understanding of road safety on our walk and behaviour expectations in the book shop. The shop also commented on how impressed they were with us.

Take a look at the books we chose, we read them when we got back to school.

World Book Week

Today we enjoyed dressing up as our favourite characters. Take at look at who came into reception today.
