Reception

 Hello all, As there were no sightings of the Big Bad Wolf who has gone missing last week from our classroom, the children started getting increasingly worried. During a discussion we have came to a conclusion that the wolf must be embarrassed about his bad behaviour so he is hiding in the forest. The children think that he is good now and they want the wolf to come back. They are worried that he is cold and all alone. To show the wolf the way back to our classroom we have made footprints in the garden and have written a letter to the wolf saying that we believe that he has changed and we miss him. The children were delighted and so excited to find the wolf sheltering in the den made by the children. The wolf joined in playing 'What's the time Mr Wolf' game which was much enjoyed by the class. Throughout the week we have been looking at animal footprints. The children have created variety of footprints in art and have become very good at matching animals to their footprints

  I am really lucky this week as I am writing the blog for the first time.   We have had a very busy  week! We have been learning all about Little Red Riding Hood, where she lives and what she has in her basket for Granny. Today we had some exciting news, the Big Bad Wolf has gone missing! We have wrote posters to try and find him in our school! The children have been busy finding clues in our garden as to where they think he might be. The children have told me that they will keep an eye out for him this weekend and write about it should they find him! Next week we are going to look at the different footprints and marks that animals can make, we are sure we saw the Wolfs footsteps today! Have a great weekend. Miss Neal

 This week we have been writing letters to the Gingerbread man to try and help him find his missing buttons. Luckily Little Red Riding Hood managed to find them underneath the trolls bridge. It has been very exciting and the children have tried really hard to use their phonics skills to write letters.  We have also been learning about Diwali and have made some Rangoli patterns of our own. Next week we are going to be designing patterns to create Mendhi to paint on our hands. Please speak to me if you do not wish your child to take part in this activity.  Next week we are going to be learning about the woods where little Red Riding Hood lives and finding out about granny. Mrs Sheehan is now going to be taking reception and I am moving into nursery. I hope that this will only be temporary and we will soon be able to open the doors and become a unit again. You can still email me if you have any concerns about anything.  If you have not tried to access Teams can you please do so this weeke

 All the children have come back enthusiastic and ready to learn. We have got a room full of authors at the moment. The children are really enjoying making stories and writing for a purpose which is extremely exciting to see. They have been using their phonics skills to spell words and make up their own sentences using tricky words and words that they call spell phonetically. Its a fantastic time to watch the children develop these skills and we will be working hard to keep them excited to learn in this way.  I have sent home their reading books today and would like them back on Monday so that we can change then and give the children new books throughout the week. I can only do this if they are all returned.  I have also included in the bag an email and password for our online learning platform. Please keep this safe.  In accordance with the DfE, we are ensuring that our online learning platform in in place and working for everyone.  Please ensure the login is working and if there are
