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 8.12.25

What an exciting, joyful and very Christmassy week we’ve had in class!

📚 Literacy
In Literacy, we’ve been learning all about bossy verbs — and what better way to put them to the test than by giving clear instructions to wrap presents! The children used their bossy words brilliantly while helping with gifts for the Mr X Appeal, combining great writing with an important lesson about kindness and helping others.

💛 Mr X Appeal Success!
A HUGE thank you to everyone who supported our sponsored walk — we are so proud to announce we raised an incredible £847.56! 🎉👏
The children did an amazing job, showing resilience, teamwork and generosity. We couldn’t be prouder!

🎭 Christmas Sharing – The Wriggly Nativity
This week also saw our fabulous Christmas Sharing, where the children performed The Wriggly Nativity. They sang their hearts out, remembered their lines beautifully, and filled the room with smiles and festive cheer. 🌟
We are so incredibly proud of how confident and enthusiastic they were!

🎨 Christmas Crafts & Festive Fun
The Christmas spirit is well and truly alive as we’ve started our Christmas crafts, which will continue into next week. Glitter, creativity and excitement are definitely in the air!
We also celebrated Christmas Jumper Day — and wow! The children looked absolutely amazing in their festive outfits. 🎅🎄

📌 Important Reminders

• ⛪ Trip to All Souls Church: Monday
