Reception - Spring 1 - Week 1

Date: 4th Jan 2023 @ 7:48pm

Happy New Year to everyone and we hope you had a lovely Christmas. The children have returned to school with big smiles and full of excitement sharing news about their holidays.

For RE this week we loved learning all about ‘Epiphany’ and the end of the Christmas season. The children enjoyed the story ‘We Three Kings’ by Rosie Greening and looking at different images of the kings which we then tried to draw. We reflected on the importance of the star that guided the King’s to baby Jesus, and then enjoyed creating our own star to display in the classroom.

The children also enjoyed listening to different stories all about the ‘New Year’ and talking about how this is celebrated. This brought us to thinking about New Year’s resolutions and our hopes and dreams for 2023. The children were able to write these down and we will reflect upon them through the year.

On Friday afternoon, we were fortunate enough to take part in an interacting Judo assembly. The instructors showed us a range of holds and moves and were delighted to learn that this could be an option for some of us in the coming weeks.

We hope you have a lovely weekend and look forward to seeing you all on Monday.

Mrs Bevin and Mrs Molloy and all of the Reception Team
