Reception News Spring Term 1
This half term we have continued our learning about the emergency services and people who help us. So far we have really enjoyed our visit from the fire service and are looking forward to a visit from the police next week. World book day was a great success and we loved wearing our ‘Where’s Wally’ outfits! We hope you have enjoyed sharing the book your child received at home. We are also looking forward to science week coming up between the 12th and 16th of March. During the week we will be carrying out lots of science based activities with the theme of ’Move It!’ Look out for a family challenge and quiz which will be sent home for you to take part in during the week1
People Who Help Us
Praise Assembly
Can you make an emergency vehicle at home? Will it be an ambulance, police car, fire engine, mountain rescue vehicle, lifeboat, helicopter?! It’s up to you!
This half term, we are starting to attend Praise Assemblies. These assemblies are a celebration of children’s learning. We will choose two children in each class every week. We will invite you to come and watch if your child is chosen!
Stop press!
Dates for your diary:
Towards the end of this term, we will be inviting all parents / carers into school to start putting your child’s scrapbook together. The scrapbooks are a record of your child’s time in the Foundation Stage. We will provide photographs and learning your child has done in school, but it would be great to add photos and pictures from home too! We will send out more information close to the date, but you may want to start thinking about things from home you would like to include.
Maths Parent Workshops Thank you to everyone who has sent their reply to take part in the parent maths workshops next week! We hope to see as many of you at your child’s group’s workshop as possible. Please see a member of staff if you need any more information.

Thanks again for all the observations you have been making at home. We really want to focus on ‘wow’ moments linked to calculation. At school, we will be promoting the words: more, less, greater, fewer, altogether, equals, total. Please look out for your child using these words at home!
