We have also been reinforcing our understanding of the Golden Rules, using them as the basis for class discussions each day. It has been lovely to hear the children’s thoughts, and we have listened to some very sensible and caring responses. To recap from last year, our Golden Rules are: 

  • Do Be Gentle 
  • Do Be Kind and Helpful 
  • Do Listen to People 
  • Do Work Hard 
  • Do Look After Property 
  • Do Be Honest 

We have enjoyed learning our daily routines, and we are impressed with how independently the children are coming into class, hanging up their coats, and putting away their book bags and water bottles. Well done, Reception! 

It was lovely to meet so many of you at our Reading Evening on Thursday. Reading folders will be coming home today. This week, we have placed a name card in your child’s book bag for you to practise writing their name together, slowly and carefully, in our cursive style. Please encourage your child to hold their pencil correctly and to begin each letter on the line. 

Don’t forget to send in your family photo for our class display, these can be emailed to

Next week Reception will be thinking about our topic ‘Magnificent Me’. 

Have a lovely weekend!
