Week ending: Friday 1st March 2024

Dear Families,

This week we have learnt about Georgie’s village and how it is different to a city and the city we live in. We were very creative, sculpting our own clay water pots and weaving our own Kente cloths! On Friday, we celebrated World Book Day. We came into school dressed as favourite book characters, completed activities based on our favourite authors. We had so much fun reading, sharing favourite stories and creating our own book marks and stories! We had lots of special adults reading to the children and even had a fashion show and parade. What a fun day celebrating reading! In maths, we continued to look at teen numbers to 20.  

Next week, we look forward to hosting our own charity event to raise money for WaterAid inspired by our story,  "Water Princess". We will be selling our freshly  made lemonade on Wednesday at 3pm in the Reception playground! Any donations welcome however small!

Have a lovely weekend.


Best wishes,

The Reception Team
