Reception - Autumn 2 - Week 5
Date: 30th Nov 2023 @ 4:47pm
In RE, we had a very special visit from Mark from Holy Trinity Church who came to talk to the children about his special role in the community. Mark then talked about Baptism with the children, we even had our own Baptism in class! Thank you Mark for your time, it was a lovely experience for the children.
The children enjoyed baking gingerbread men this week. However, we came in to school the next day to find that the gingerbread men had run away! We followed a trail of flour to the outdoor area but couldn’t find them anywhere. The children then made posters to put around the school to see if anyone had seen them. The next morning the gingerbread men had returned! They said they had been running around the outdoor area all night away from mice, birds and foxes so were ready to come back. The children then decorated them and took them home to enjoy.
We were so excited to start our new theme ‘The Jolly Postman’, we have enjoyed exploring the role play area, making letters and postcards. We enjoyed listening to the story and beginning to think about what it would be like to be a post person. We were inspired by the theme and wanted to send letters to people around the school.
We had a very exciting visit from Doctor Cosgrove and Doctor Ryan, who kindly came in to talk to the children about their very important job in the community. The children learnt about where they work, what they do and the different equipment they use. Thank you so much for coming in, we thoroughly enjoyed your visit.
On Friday the children had such fun at the Christmas Extravaganza and visit to Santa’s Grotto. Thank you so much to Team TSP for organising this for everyone. IN the afternoon the children enjoyed a film together with snacks and hot chocolate. Wat fun we have had!
The children have been working incredibly hard practicing for the Nativity, we cannot wait for you to see it as we are sure you are going to love it!
Have a lovely weekend and see you all next week.
