Welcome back Reception!
It was so lovely to see your happy faces arrive at school this morning. We are looking forward to another great term ahead.
A HUGE thank you to everyone who has sent in photos of their half-term activities and adventures. We saw lots of great costumes, pumpkin picking, visits to the circus, welly walks and more. We will enjoy sharing these pictures in talk-time this week.
As part of our ongoing efforts to keep you all involved in classroom life, whilst restrictions continue to be in place, this morning we filmed a little snapshot of the classroom buzz and activity. You will see that as soon as the children walk through the door, they are ready to learn!

Keeping safe
This morning, we revisited how we are keeping safe, our hygiene routines and why it is important to follow them.
We had a swift mention of the fact that the leaders of our country have put in some ‘new rules’ to continue keeping us all safe. Well done to Gracie who told us that Boris Johnson “is the Prime Minister” when he was mentioned!
We spoke about how great we already are in our school, at making sure we are safe. We wash our hands carefully and use the ‘vampire arm’ to catch any sneezes or coughs. We practised this again.
Well done to Lewis, who gave a very detailed description of how we wash our hands:
“with soap, front to back, through our fingers, all over them, wash it off with water”
Thank you to our parents and carers, who have obviously done an amazing job at sharing these messages at home too.
Lunches
From next week, children will be having a different school dinner menu to choose from. There is more variety in the new menu. We wonder whether this might encourage some of our packed lunch children to try a school dinner?
You are of course welcome to continue sending a packed lunch, if this is your child’s preference. You may also choose a mixture of school dinners and packed lunch throughout the week.
