This week we have been talking about how to keep our teeth clean and strong. We are now brushing our teeth every afternoon with the help of some fun songs to remind us to brush all our teeth and to keep going for 2 minutes.

We have had a fantastic start to Soring term, beginning with a wonderful pantomime of Cinderella.

We used the pantomime to launch our new fairytales topic in literacy. The children have busily been making wands for Cinderella and porridge for the three bears.

We would love to hear what fairytales the children have enjoyed reading at home.

Reception have had lots of fun today. We had lots of fun dancing and then we had a very special visit from Santa! We had our party lunch and then had popcorn watching our Christmas movie!

See you tomorrow for our last day of school!

We are so proud of how hard the children have worked to put on their Nativity today. We hope you  all enjoyed our efforts to make the star shine!

This morning we have been learning how to keep our teeth healthy and strong by brushing our teeth and making healthy choices with what we eat and drink. We practiced brushing our teeth; remember “spit but do not rinse”.

We are bringing toothpaste and a toothbrush home and will be keeping our teeth clean in school too.

This week, Reception have been thinking about how important it is to share with one another. We read a story called “Don’t Hog the Hedge” and we have been awarding each other when we have noticed someone being kind and sharing.

We learnt a song about learning to share and performed it in assembles this morning. Well done everyone!

This afternoon we have been learning about road safety and how to cross the road safely. We practiced crossing the road using the “stop, look, listen” approach.

We are learning about shapes this week in maths. I wonder what shapes you can see at home. Here is one of the songs we are singing to help us remember the names of our 3D shapes.

Sergeant Blackshaw’s visited Reception this morning to tell us all about his heroic work as a medic in the army. He told us about meeting the Queen and taught us how to salute and stand to attention. The children enjoyed learning to march and trying on some of Sergeant Blackshaw’s hats!

To end the week in style we had our very own midwife come and talk to the children all about babies. They had a fantastic morning!
