This term the children in reception have had a fabulous time watching eggs hatch into chicks and learning all about how to look after them.

To raise money for SWAN UK, children and staff came into school with the craziest hairdos they could think of!

We were lucky enough to have brilliant sunny weather for our trip to St. Leonard's Farm this term. The children (and staff!) all had great fun stroking the animals and playing in the fun barn! The children's behaviour was absolutely fantastic throughout the trip, and they really were a credit to themselves and the school.

All the phonics graphemes from phases 2-5, should you want to print and practise.

Superheroes This half term we have been doing some SUPER work on our topic - Superheroes! The children have produced some fabulous pieces of writing as we learned all about the features of comic strips. To top off an amazing half term we all came to school in our Superhero costumes.

Here are reception looking fabulous in their nativity costumes - and what a great performance they put on for parents, especially as it was the third of the day!

This week, the children have been learning all about Diwali, the Hindu festival of light. We have made Diva lamps and acted out the story of Rama and Sita. We've had great fun!

If you would like to practise tricky words with your child, here are the lists to go through by phase.
