Crafting can help you get into a “flow state,” sometimes referred to as “being in the zone.” Fully engaging in a hobby encourages a state of flow where a sense of time and self-consciousness seem to disappear. Allowing attention to flow away from ourselves and into a craft can offer relief from negative feelings, and promote a sense of happiness and satisfaction.

Everything can be made with machines but nothing compares to something made with hands and the heart.

HOUSING MATTERS

We as a school community are aware that there is an acute shortage of housing, particularly social and genuinely affordable housing and that this has led to spiraling rents and house prices across the country. Many young people and families on low to middle incomes struggle to afford to rent or buy a decent home.  As a result we will be holding a coffee morning Q & A session, with a housing representative, on Monday 27th March 2023 at the school. If you would like to attend please let Kamla or the school office know, so your place can be reserved.

Spring 2

Hope you all had a nice half term.

Our topic for this half term is Traditional Tales. We shall be focusing on the following texts;

  • Jack and the Beanstalk
  • Jasper’s Beanstalk
  • The Ugly Duckling
  • The Elves and the Shoemaker

Now the weather is improving, we are looking into the possibility of organising a local trip to Burgess Park to look for the ducklings and swans in Week 3 or 4 of this half term. If you would like to support on this trip, please contact a member of the Reception team.

In maths, we shall be focusing on numbers up to 20. Please practise adding and subtracting using practical objects with your child.

In phonics, we are recapping the Phase 3 sounds and beginning to write simple sentences, using and applying our phonics knowledge.

Also, please remember about the importance of reading at home and recording in the home school diaries. Your support can make such a difference.

Finally, here are some key dates for your diaries;

  • Friday 3rd March – World Book Day
  • Wednesday 29th March – Easter Bonnet Parade

Regards,

The Reception Team
