Christmas 2020
Reception performed 'The Nativity'
Once upon a time
A long time ago
Begins the story of a Baby
That most of you should know
Mary's husband was Joseph
And Mary was the Baby's mum
This Baby was very special
He was God's only Son
Some Angels came from heaven
And they began to sing
To the Shepherds in the fields below
"Glad tidings do we bring!"
A bright Star lit the heavens
To light the King's way
To the Baby in the manger
Who was born on Christmas day
And all who gathered around Him
Rejoiced and praised His birth
For the Babe, the King, named Jesus
Is our Saviour here on Earth!

Safety week and visiting the sea-side
During our 'Safety Week' we looked at internet safety and what we use the internet for.
The children sang a song to remind themselves how to stay safe on the internet.
The key message was TO TELL AN ADULT and ASK FOR HELP.
The children also looked at and discussed possible dangers around the home.
For seaside week the children made lovely seaside pictures, learnt about money and adding coins to buy ice-creams. They used all these ideas and created posters and ice-creams to sell in their ice-cream parlours.

Welcome to Reception
A very warm welcome to Reception.
Mrs Powell is the class teacher and the teaching assistants are Mrs Randall and Mrs Brandram-Jones.
We have a lovely large classroom with a cloakroom and toilets.
We have a reflection corner where you can sit quietly, read books, talk quietly to your friends or take some time out to think about things.
We have lots of construction toys, counting equipment and mark-making tools easily accessible at all times.
Indoors we have a messy area offering a range of sensory activities.
A large role-play area occupies the classroom and children are encouraged to select their own themes such as a cafe, hospital, police station, shop and post office to name a few.
We also have a large outdoor classroom where we have our own garden, sand area, play house as well as a wide range of large building equipment. All of this is fenced and gated for security.
All of our learning is done through play and follows the interests and needs of the children.
