Ella’s coat has gone missing, it is possible that one of the other children have accidentally taken it home. It is khaki colour and age 5-6. Please check all similar coats at home.
Thank you for your help with this matter.
The children have been very excited to watch our caterpillars build their cocoons, we will shortly be transporting them to their baskets for a few weeks while they sleep. The children also enjoyed planting various vegetables and flowers last week, I’m sure you will agree that they have done a super job with the Reception flower beds.
This week we will be reading the story of The Bad Tempered Ladybird and carrying out linked activities.

Messages.
Keep up the great effort with encouraging the children to walk down the slope independently. Please be advised any messages you have for us in the mornings can be given to the staff on the main door who will pass them on.
Also thank you to all of you who have sent in your childrens baby photos. We look forward to receiving the rest of them, we can photocopy originals or you can email them to us directly.
Please remember the homework expectation in Reception is to read every day and learn the red words. If you would like further homework please complete the Learning Challenge.
Learning Challenge
Each half term we will be setting our pupils a challenge related to their learning. We believe that it is important for us to provide guidance for parents on how their children's learning can be extended at home.
The learning challenge will include either a nursery rhyme, famous person, illustration or a piece of music. Please talk to your child about the challenge and help them to engage in their learning. The children can choose how they present their learning challenge outcomes to their teacher or class.
