Reception Visit ‘The Word’
Reception had a very exciting visit to The Word this week. They listened to some farm themed stories, took part in farm themed arts and crafts, sang songs and even got to choose their own books to bring back to school! It was so lovely to see the children so excited about choosing and sharing stories with each other, developing their love of reading for pleasure!
Reception Visit Church
Yesterday we walked to church to meet Father Bill who talked to us about baptism. He showed us all of the symbols used in a baptism including the font, baptismal candle and the holy oil. The children then asked Father Bill some excellent questions like, “Why do you light the candle?” We would like to say a big thank you to Father Bill for a lovely morning!

An Author Visits Reception
Today a very special lady paid a visit to Reception. Pauline Waters, author of ‘Stanley the Seagull’ came to talk to the children all about her job as an author. Pauline read the story ‘Stanley and the Great North Run’ to the children and talked about all of the stages involved in writing and publishing a book. The children asked some very interesting questions and have been inspired to write their own stories! Pauline left the children with one last important message, “everyone can be an author. You just need to start with an idea.”
Thank you Pauline for a wonderful afternoon.
A message from Pauline –
Dear Staff and children
