Half-term already!!

This week, we have been inspired by the story of ‘The Little Red Hen’. We have thoroughly enjoyed listening to and retelling the story in many different ways, the children were amazed when they learnt that once wheat had been harvested by the combine harvester it can be taken to the windmill to be ground into flour. We watched a clip of a working windmill and enjoyed making our own bread, the children did a fantastic job of kneading and shaping the dough into the shape of a hedgehog.

On Monday, we celebrated St. Luke’s Day with a captivating service held by Reverend Matt, we walked there with our buddies and had great fun playing eye-spy on the way.

On Tuesday afternoon, Mrs. Edger and Mrs. Dwan came to join us in class and helped us plant our daffodil bulbs before it gets too cold. Our children have loved helping out with the gardening this week, leaf collecting and weeding. We would love to see you out and about in your garden over the half term holidays.

Please continue to practise the speed sounds we have learnt so far, if you would like to continue reading CVC words over the break, you can sign up (for free) on the Oxford Owl website by following this link: https://www.oxfordowl.co.uk/user/sign_up.html and selecting ‘parent’. Here you will find an eBook library. We would recommend ‘sound blending book 1’.

We hope you have a fantastic break, recharge those batteries ready for a another busy few weeks as we embrace our new topic of ‘fire’!

Take care all,

The Reception Team :)
