Book of the week

The children have enjoyed listening to the story; Stick man by Julia Donaldson. We have been acting out the story using our own stick man made with sticks and string. The children have enjoyed retelling the story amongst themselves and saying the main phrases. Some of the children have been identifying emotions of the character throughout the story, identifying when he was feeling happy, sad and angry.

“Stick man is feeling lonely, he’s on the blue face”

Said Emma, using the zones of regulation to identify emotions

Christmas Concert

We are so proud of all the children who took part in the Christmas concerts this week! You did us proud and we know that your parents and carers were beaming with delight to see you perform! Thank you to our Digital Leaders from year six who did a fantastic job with filming for us!

Goodbye Reception, see you soon! 

Dear Parents, Carers and all of my wonderful children,

I just wanted to say thank you for the most amazing autumn term. I absolutely love being a teacher but there is something truly special about being a reception teacher and being there at the start of their school journey. I have loved every single day with all the children in Reception and making such fun memories with Alder Class. I will miss our chats as we have toasted bagels each morning, singing our crazy songs together and watching you all turn into little readers and writers. I have also really enjoyed sharing my pregnancy journey with the children. I have heard from other teachers that the children don't usually comment that much on pregnancy, however this is not the case with my reception children! My bump has enjoyed lots of pats, strokes and ears pressed against it trying to listen. It has made me laugh everyday and added to this lovely experience. 

The children have made me a very special book with their baby predictions which we have had a great time looking through together.

I will continue to follow the children's journey through the blogs (probably at 3am!) and I am already looking forward to bringing in the baby to meet the children next year. 

Whishing you all a very happy holiday and a Merry Christmas!

Best wishes,

Miss Chappel
