Week ending: 

Friday 7th June 2024

Dear Families,

What a sensational week we've had! 

We have been  continuing to explore our current theme 'Let's Create' and we have been discussing and writing about our model fairground rides we created using a range of recyclable materials.  We showed fantastic collaboration in our teams to construct our creative designs. To cap off a busy week, we have also been enthusiastically practising our songs for next week's musical performance of Jack and the Beanstalk, which we look forward to welcoming you to on Tuesday 11th June at 10am and 2.45pm. 

Wishing you a lovely weekend,

The Reception Team
