Reception - Autumn2 - Week 5

Date: 30th Nov 2022 @ 8:27am

We were so excited to start our new theme ‘The Jolly Postman’, we have enjoyed exploring the role play area and even had a visit from Mrs Howell who delivers the post to school each day. The children are going to enjoy listening her talk about her job and all of the different letters and parcels she has to deliver. We also 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 friends, we began by writing a letter to the fire station to say ‘Thank you’ to them for taking the time to show us around the fire station last week.

The children had a lovely surprise on Thursday when an Elf appeared in our classroom. We were so excited to welcome the Elf and quickly named him ‘Tinsel’. Each day he has brought a gift of a book to the class that we have enjoyed sharing at the end of the day. 

We have also been lucky to have a visit from a Police Man Tim, who came to talk to the children about his job and also about ‘Stranger Danger’. The children were able to ask lots of questions and even try on some uniform.

The children have been working incredibly hard learning songs and their words 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 keep practising the lines for next week.
