Reception had a wonderful afternoon yesterday at their Christmas party. We danced, played games and ate lots of party food! Don’t we look beautiful?!

Reception have had a very exciting start to December! We visited West Boldon Lodge and played games in the woods, built a campfire, toasted marshmallows, made Christmas decorations, drank hot chocolate and even got to meet Santa! It has really got us in the Christmas spirit!

Reception have had some very interesting visitors this week to start off their topic all about minibeasts. Guy from BugsnStuff brought in some Mega-Beasts for the children to look at, touch and hold including a snake, a tarantula, a cockroach, stick insects, a millipede, a frog and a lizard. They children were very brave indeed!

Today the children took part in a very important workshop all about how to cross the road safely. We learned some actions to help us ‘Stop, look, listen, think!’ and practiced crossing a road using traffic lights.

Reception walked to the Post Office this morning to post their letters to Santa.
