News Reception

Last week, we held our first Reading Cafe of the year. 

In Reception this week, the children have been reading ‘The Leaf Thief’ by Alice Hemming. 

Thank you to our families who generously donated items for the St Alban’s Church Food bank.

In Nursery and Reception, our week started with a special workshop in each of the classes about the importance of washing our hands.

As part of Black History Month, Reception have been learning about the footballer Marcus Rashford and the kind things he has done to support his community.

The children have had another fantastic week of learning!  In phonics, they learned four new sounds: ‘h’, ‘b’, ‘f’, and ‘l’, alongside the tricky words is, I, and the. 

This week, Reception have started demonstrating their phonics and reading skills through reading practice, and they will take their first reading books home today that they have been practicing in class! 

Reception had so much fun learning their new phonemes this week!

In Reception, the children have had a great deal of fun sharing information about themselves and their families. 

What a busy and exciting week we’ve had in Reception! Here is a little glimpse into what we’ve been up to: This week, we have been reading the wonderful story ‘So Much’ by Trish Cooke.

What a fantastic start to the term! Our Reception children have had a brilliant couple of weeks settling into school life, making new friends and getting to grips with our daily rules and routines.

Reception children have continued to settle so quickly and well; we are incredibly proud of them. 

We want to say a warm welcome to all of our new pupils and their families in our Nursery. 

On Friday, our school proudly joined classrooms across the country to take part in Jeans for Genes Day.

The new Reception children have settled so quickly and well; we are incredibly proud of them.
