Welcome to our Reception weekly round-up! We’ve had a wonderfully busy and exciting week filled with creativity, kindness and lots of learning across all our areas of the curriculum.

Week beginning 5.1.26

❄️✨ Weekly Class Update – Welcome Back! ✨❄️

Welcome back to school! Although it wasn’t quite the return we expected due to the snow, the children handled it brilliantly. We were so impressed with the learning that took place at home, and we’d like to say a huge thank you to you all for your support, patience, and flexibility during the snowy days — it truly made a difference!

🏫 Back into School Life
Once we were back together, we spent time revisiting our classroom rules and expectations, reminding ourselves how to be kind, safe, and ready to learn. The children did a fantastic job settling back into routines.

🎉 Our New Topic: Celebrations
We’ve begun exploring our exciting new topic for this term — “Celebrations”! To kick things off, we learned about New Year’s Resolutions. The children used their literacy skills to write their own resolutions, sharing what they would like to get better at or try this year. They then worked incredibly hard to read back their own writing, explaining what they had written — a huge step in building confidence and independence.

🧸 Learning Through Play
There has been lots of excitement as the children explored the new areas in our provision. They showed curiosity, creativity, and wonderful teamwork while learning through play.

🌟 A Brilliant Short Week
Even though it’s been a short week, the children have been amazing. They’ve settled back into school beautifully, shown great enthusiasm for learning, and made us very proud.

We can’t wait to jump fully back into our learning next week and continue our celebrations topic together! 🎊😊

Diolch!
