Our
Reception children did very well this week in coping with a whole week in
school. There were a few tired eyes on Thursday and Friday but on the whole a
very happy week was had. It was nice to see Nursery friends reunited as the
morning children met the afternoon children. It has also been lovely seeing the
new children to Mead already forging strong friendships.
Lunch time seems to be the most difficult time for
some of the children. To help make it easier for your child please look at the
options below and see which choice suits your child the most. If the choices
are not food that your child would eat please send in a packed lunch.
The choices are :-
Monday
Beef burger -red or Quorn burger- green
Tuesday
Sweet chilli pasta-red or cheese
and tomato pizza -green
Wednesday
Lemon and Thyme chicken thigh-red or quorn and tomato pasta -green
Thursday Roasted
pork loin-red or vegetarian sausage roll -green
Friday fish fillet with lemon wedge- red or homemade cheesy leak pasta-green
Thank you so much for the hard work that you are
putting into reading with your child. It was lovely to read so many positive
comments in the yellow home school diaries, your support is so beneficial. We
will now be looking to see which children have read three times a week at home. The
class that has the most children achieving this will win a special award to
hang up on their classroom door and get a special mention in assembly.
The first week of full change for P.E is always
difficult in Reception classes. We are sorry that a couple of articles of
clothing were mislaid after last week lesson and are trying to rectify this by
checking all children have the right clothes. If you could help by checking all
school clothes have your child`s name in and your child has not accidently come
home in the wrong uniform we would really appreciate it. Also if you could
support your child in practising getting dressed and undressed it would make
these sessions a lot easier.
Next week many of our activities in school will be
based on the story of the Rainbow fish by Marcus Pfister. The Rainbow fish is a
beautiful looking fish with shiny scales. He has the difficult decision of
whether to share his scales with his friends. This story has some very
important messages in Personal and social development. It covers the aspects of
sharing, the importance of friendship and that beauty comes from within. We
will be embarking on some craft work based on the story and using discussion to
discuss the main themes. We would still appreciate old Cds if you have any at
home. On Friday we are really looking forward to our Rainbow Fish drama
workshop where the story will be brought to life for the children.
Please remember to send in your child`s Wow
certificates. The children are so proud to stand at the front while we share
their amazing achievements.
In your child`s book bag on Monday there will be a
leaf shape. If you could write your aspiration for your child`s Reception year
on the leaf and send it back to school we will display them. Aspirations will
be personal to each parent but they may be something like:-
`For my child to be happy and make friends` or `For
my child to learn to read simple books. `
Look out for messages and pictures on the Mead
Primary School face book page and the Mead Primary School website. Please
remember to speak with school staff if there is anything you are unsure of or
you have any concerns.
We
look forward to another good week in school with our new children
