Croeso and welcome to Reception class.

Welcome back to Reception for the start of our exciting Spring Term – we are looking forward to lots of new learning, fun activities, and exploring the world around us together!”

This Spring term in Reception... We are diving into two exciting topics:

Our topic this term is Delicious – we’ll be designing and making our own pizzas, learning where our food comes from, and exploring tasty ingredients. We’ll build our language skills by writing recipes, describing flavours, and enjoying stories about food, while developing our maths through counting, measuring, and comparing as we cook and create. We’ll also celebrate Chinese New Year, discovering traditions, tasting new foods, and learning some Chinese words to make our learning even more special.

Our 2nd topic will be Long, Long Ago, where we will discover castles, mythical creatures, and the people who lived in them. We’ll enjoy stories and role play, build vocabulary, and use our maths skills to explore shapes and patterns in castle designs.”

In RE this term, our topic is Galilee to Jerusalem. We will explore the story of the Feeding of the 5000 and think about how, just like Jesus cared for others, we can help look after people and the world around us. Through discussion, role play, and creative activities, we’ll learn about kindness, sharing, and making a positive difference.

Stay Connected with Seesaw! We’ll be sharing your child’s learning journey on their Seesaw account — from exciting activities to proud moments and everything in between.

To keep up with what they’ve been up to each day, just scan the QR code to download the Seesaw app. It’s a lovely way to see their progress and celebrate their achievements together!

Homework & Reading Info Homework will be uploaded to Seesaw every Friday — just check the app to see what’s been set for your child.

Label Those Jumpers! Jumpers love to go on adventures... especially when they all look the same! Please make sure your child’s jumper is clearly labelled with their name so it can find its way back if it goes walkabout.

Healthy Habits Reminder We’re proud to be a healthy school! Please ensure your child brings a nutritious snack each day, along with water or sugar-free juice to stay refreshed and focused.

Friday Treats On Fridays, children may bring a small treat as an alternative to their usual healthy snack.

Thank you for your continued support
