Today!!

WOW! What a day!! It was really great to see so many of you at school day - we have all really enjoyed it and I know the children have loved having you there to play. We hope you enjoyed it too and got the chance to look at your child's profile. If you weren't able to join us today then you can pop in anytime for a quick chat and look at their folders whenever is convenient for you.

We would love your comments and feedback on today...what you enjoyed the most? Is there anything that you would like us to consider for next time? (Refreshments maybe - my mouth was a bit dry by the end of the day!!) Any comments at all would be appreciated!!

Anyway we hope you have a fab weekend and we will see you all on Monday for another action packed week!!! :0)

The Reception Team

Dinner 11th November

Dinner today was meatballs in a tomato sauce, pasta and vegetables. We had garlic bread and a bakewell tart and the traditional custard!! The children's manners are improving and they are waiting until everyone is served before tucking in!!

'Poppy Day'

Just a quick reminder, the children will have the opportunity to buy a Poppy on Thursday 11th and Friday 12th of November this week. If you want your child to buy one then they will need to bring in a small donation, in an envelope clearly labelled with their name and class so that when the poppy sellers from Year 5/6 come around your child will be able to purchase their very own Poppy.

We will be learning about Remembrance day and Reception will be joining the whole school for a two minute silence at 11.00 am, and be listening to the '2 minute silence charity song' which has an accompanying 'silent' video. We will be making Poppy's and learning about their significance, looking at old world war photos and listening to the song 'The last post' which is traditionally played to introduce the two minute silence in remembrance day ceremonies, that marks the final farewell. You can hear the song for yourselves at http://www.woodlands-junior.kent.sch.uk/customs/remembrance/index.htm#last and read lots of other information about 'Poppy Day'.

Open Day

The weather forecast for Friday is not looking great..:-(
However we are not going to let this stop us having a great day!! Please come prepared for all weather conditions - a waterproof coat would great so you can still enjoy the outside area with your child!!

We should take heed of Billy Connelly's mantra:

'There's no such thing as BAD weather, just the wrong clothes!!'

A quick note from Athens class!!

Just to let you know that I will not be in class first thing in the morning when you come in. Miss Hyde is having her first observed lesson by Miss Bellido who is Trinity and All Saints school based tutor. This will mean that I will go and cover Miss Bellido's class for the first hour... in YEAR 3!! If you read this tonight, please let your child know where I am and who Miss Bellido is as I haven't mentioned it too them and I like them to know what's going on. (You don't have to tell them why Miss Bellido is there - just that she's coming down to see what exciting things are happening in Reception!!!) Many thanks!! :)

Dinner today 10th November

Dinner today was:

Burger, wedges, peas and carrots

Pudding was fruit crumble and custard

I enjoyed my dinnertime chat today - we some how ended up taking about dog dirt on the way to school - lovely mealtime debate about how people should pick it up and not leave it on the pavement - hear hear!! ;0)
