News Reception

This week we have been using the story of Little Red Riding Hood in our learning.

What a fantastic first week back after the Easter holidays! The children came back refreshed and ready to learn.

This week marked an exciting start for Yellow Class as we returned from the Easter break diving into our new topic: ‘Traditional Tales’, or better known as ‘Fairy Tales’.

In Reception this week we were learning about the Christian holiday of Easter.

As the Easter break approaches, Yellow Class bid farewell to their exciting topic, “People Who Help Us” and their class role play “Pizza Restaurant”. 

To finish our topic of ‘To The Rescue!’, we looked at the story of ‘Croc goes to the Dentist’.

Last week, our children came into school wearing their finest party clothes in order to raise money for others.

This week we looked at the book, ‘Clean Up!’. In it we saw that our oceans are not as clean as we thought they were and that the rubbish they are being filled with is harming the animals who live in them.

Following our recent ‘How to Help Your Child with Reading at Home’ workshop, please find below a recording of the session for those who could not make it in person.

A few weeks ago we had a visit planned from the Purley firefighters and we were excited in anticipation of their arrival.

This week, in Reception, the children learned all about medical professionals.

This term, Reception is learning all about the different people who help us in our community.

As part of our topic ‘To the Rescue!’, we have continued looking at the book ‘Supertato’.

This week saw a continuation of book week activities!  At the beginning of the week we had our Scholastic Book Fair and Mrs Roberts and Mrs Latter sold an amazing £1000 worth of books! 

Some of the parents with children in Gold class have participated in weekly ‘Bookstart’ workshops.
