Reception

Our Reception children did an amazing job of performing their class Nativity, ‘Little Blue Star’. Well done! 
 

In Reception we have been getting in the Christmas spirit by making our own Christmas decorations. This week we have been making reindeers, by adding a pom pom nose and eyes.

We had a special visit from Santa, Mrs Christmas and their elves to deliver presents to all the children. Reception were busy practising our nativity show on the stage and even sang a song for our guests who had a dance. Thank you to Egremont town council and Egremont Winter wonderland.

The children learnt how to balanced, co-ordinate their movements and agility. They had a great time and even practised their skills of waiting patiently and turn taking. Thank…

A wonderful time was had by all the Infants watching the pantomime ‘Aladdin’ at the Carnegie Theatre & Arts Centre. The children and adults laughed and shouted from the start to the finish. What a fantastic way to start the Christmas festivities!
 

In Reception this week we have been taking part in our collective worship around the theme of ‘Love’. The children shared who they loved and lit their candle, representing Jesus as the light of the world. Some of the children then chose to use our prayer area to say their own prayers.

In Reception, we have been learning about the artist Giuseppe Arcimboldo and how he created his own arty by painting fruit, vegetables. The children then created their own portraits. 
 

A fun time was had for Reception who had a Friendship Disco with year 1 and 2. They enjoyed dancing, the disco lights and a quick snack. What wonderful times to share with their friends. 
 

Reception came to school in blue or in their own clothes to support Anti-Bullying week. They talked about how they can be good friends and what to do if they ever need help. Everyone is looking forward to the ‘Friendship Disco’. 
 

Reception have been learning about the Advent Wreath. They found out that ‘Advent’ means getting ready for Christmas and that the Advent Wreath is used in church to to count down to Christmas by lighting the candles. They found out about the different coloured candles used and their meaning.…

Reception got the chance to visit the library bus this week and choose and share some books together, as well as choosing some books for us to read in class. They also got to have a story time session.
