We have had some very exciting visitors this term, Pudsey bear came in to visit us and we made Pudsey bear cakes, these were very yummy! The Reception class were learning about transport and vehicles and as part of this a tractor came to visit! It stayed all day so we took a trip to the playground and we all had a sit inside. This was super exciting. Father Christmas came to visit us on his sleigh on the afternoon of our amazing Christmas concert. The children were very excited and all received a gift. The concert was held in the school hall and was a huge success; the children sang beautifully and made everyone feel very festive. Well done to all the children involved. As part of preparing the older children for big school we have been making regular trips to the reception class and listening to stories read by the reception teachers. We have also visited the dining hall for lunch and will continue to do these things to make the transition to big school much easier and more comfortable for the children who will be starting school in September.
