This week in our collective worship we have been learning about being thankful. The children shared what they are thankful for and turned on their lights. We then had some reflective time thinking about all the good things we have in life. 
 

This half term, Reception have a football coach each week. This week we have been learning how to control a ball using little kicks and how to pass it to a member of our team. Great start Reception! 
 

Reception Class thoroughly enjoyed their morning Reindeer Run to raise money for The Jigsaw Hospice for Children. They really did give it their all - what a fabulous effort! We finished off with a well deserved play on the castle. 
 

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.

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.
