Many parents have asked us about the reading diaries over the break.

We will be handing out new picture books when the children return in January and would like you to focus on red words during the holidays. We have sent home the first 100 high frequency words for you. These are words that cannot be sounded out.

Over the holidays please focus on helping your child to recognise the following: 

the, and, a, to, said, in, he and I. 

Please keep a record of this in your reading diary and feel free to add in anything you have read over the holidays.

Merry Christmas from Reception.

Here are some photographs of our children enjoying their Christmas lunch.

Nativity

Thank you to everyone who came to see our nativity. We are very proud of all of the children!

Christmas Party 

Tomorrow is our Christmas party. Please send your child in their party clothes and send in some party food. Please be aware we will not serve anything that may contain nuts.

Christmas Homework

We have sent home reading records and would like you to record how often you are looking at the red words. We will send home more red words for the holidays.

Please continue to try counting to 20 and beyond, ordering numbers, reading CVC words and writing CVC words over the holidays. You may write shopping lists, cards or count how many presents are under the tree to help your child learn without even realising it!

Merry Christmas! 

Today, Willow 1 and Willow 2 performed their christmas play “All about a baby” for parents.   The children did a fantastic job, sang beautifully and we were very proud of them.  Here are some photos taken after the dress rehearsal.
