The Feast of the Epiphany

Dear Parents and Carers

Welcome back and Happy New Year to you all!
This week in Reception we are learning about the feast of the Epiphany, the very special time when the three wise men travelled from afar to see the new born king in a stable in Bethlehem.

This half term our topic is 'Traditional tales'. We will be reading, role-playing and learning through stories such as Goldilocks and the Three Bears, Little Red Riding Hood and Jack and the Beanstalk.  Share these stories at home with your child.

You can listen to the story of Goldilocks on line :

Also this half term some Reception pupils and parents will be invited to an after school club.  Every child will be invited in turn, however it may not be your child's turn this half term as we will only invite groups of ten at a time. When it is your turn you will receive a letter explaining what is happening.

Next week Reception are visiting the theatre to see a production of
 'We're going on a Bear Hunt'. Please make sure you have returned the consent form and money by next Tuesday 11th January.

And finally a very special 'Thank you'  from Miss Maher, Mrs Jennens-Bull and Miss Barnes for all the lovely Christmas cards and gifts we received before the holidays.

Bye for now

Miss Maher.
