Beau: This week Beau has come back full of enthusiasm for school.   He loves animals and this week he has been enjoying doing lots of matching and sorting activities.  He loves to choose an animal and find a matching picture of it either on the screen or on a card.  He also works hard to sort the animals together so that he has all the sheep or all the pigs together.  Well done Beau!

Freddie: This week everyone has been really impressed with how well Freddie has come back to school.  He has been working really hard on the carpet and using his listening ears.  We have especially seen this in phonics, where he has been saying the sounds and the actions and having a great go at reading some tricky words.  Freddie has also stood out this week for his manners and never forgets to say please and thank you. Well done Freddie!

Penny: always stands out in class as a great role model for others.  She is always listening and ready to start her learning no matter what the lesson.  This week Penny stood out for us in Gymnastics with Emma. She shows off her agility and resilience and is always ready to try something new.  This week she was confident enough to climb to the top of the climbing frame and then safely make her way back down. She listens carefully to the instructions and tries every week to perfect her techniques in jumping and landing. Well done Penny!

Milie: This week phonics has got a little trickier for Class Reception as we have begun to learn some digraphs. Millie has blown us all away with how quickly she is recognising all the new sounds we are learning. When we are blending Millie is saying the sounds and then having a great try at blending the word. When we are writing the sounds she is able to listen carefully and then she will write them down by herself. Well Done Millie!
