Merry Xmas and happy New Year to you all

Last week of term! Reception have had lots of treats this week, from enjoying a 'Pyjama' party for collecting all their marbles, to watching the KS2 xmas performance and not forgetting the xmas party and teddy bears' picnic! It was great to see Father Christmas who stayed a while and even answered some children's questions - largely about his reindeer! Amelie's mum came in to tell the class all about Xmas in France, which the children really enjoyed too. Thanks to all parents and other carers for ALL your tremendous help and support this term. May we take this opportunity to wish you a very happy time at xmas and beyond and to give you advance notice of a walk we are planning for January to North Street which we hope will take place on Tues 17th and Thurs 19th (half the class each time). A letter will go out soon into the new term with further details.

Mice, birds and other delights

Reception you were brilliant! Reception performed their dances and sang their songs in our production of 'Cinderella' this week like true professionals. Thanks to all who came and supported us (and those who helped make the hats!). All your teachers are extremely proud of the way you joined in with such enthusiasm and enjoyment. We all enjoyed our Xmas lunch (cooked or packed)too. Next week we would be grateful if you could bring in a named carrier bag for all the work which will be going home.

Thinking about 'time' and Advent

This week was Mr Gruffydd's last week with us until he returns in the Spring. He taught us a song about the days of the week and we tried to remember the order they come in by playing a jumping game. At the end of this week we had our first Luckwell 'mix-up' session when all the classes mixed up and worked together to make decorations for the upstairs Hall. Don't forget your Teddy hats for Monday and any costumes that are outstanding!
