Christmas Reception Newsletter


Reception Newsletter-December 2016 

Our Reception children have come to the end of their first term and haven`t they done well. We are so proud of them all. During our assessments we were pleased that most children now recognise a good percentage of their sounds, many can blend sounds to make words and some have learnt to read a bank of key vocabulary. Lots of the children are really keen to write and it is lovely to hear the children counting with confidence. So we are not surprised that they are feeling tired.

So with only three days until the Christmas holidays we would just like to remind you of the end of term arrangements.

On Monday we have our Christmas stay and play craft day. There will be a range of activities set out in the KS1 hall. There will be two sessions running one between 9.30 and 11.00 and one between 1.15 and 2.30. Come along whenever you can and enjoy making some decorations, decorating biscuits and having fun with your child.

On Tuesday we have a very magical party day . Please send some shareable food in as soon as possible such as cakes, crisps or biscuits. Children should wear school uniform as usual.

On Wednesday we will have a fun last day with music and Christmas festivities.
School finishes at the normal time of 3.00.School is then closed for the Christmas holidays and reopens on January 3rd at 8.30am.
As the week is so hectic we will change the children`s books for them but not actually hear each child read.

We would like to finish by thanking you for your support and wishing you a very Merry Christmas  and a happy 2017.
Kind Regards
The Reception Team
