Dear Parents,
We would like to start by welcoming you and your child to Reception Class at St Benedict’s. We are very excited about the coming year and are looking forward to working with the children and providing lots of exciting activities for them through which they can explore and learn. This term our theme is ‘All About Me’ where the children will learn about themselves, explore home, family and people who help in our community. We always welcome parents and family members to come in as guest speakers if their profession is relevant to our topic as well as sending in any related resources that you may have at home. Wellies: please provide your child with a clearly labelled pair of wellies that they can bring in to school and leave here for the duration of the year as they will need them for outdoor activities. These will be stored on the children’s pegs so please can you put the wellies into a labelled bag (ideally a drawstring bag) which could be hung on a peg. Book Bags: Book bags must come into school every day with your child’s reading book and reading record. Any money/letters should be placed in a clearly marked envelope. Books: There will be an opportunity for your child’s reading book to be changed every Monday, Wednesday and Friday. As well as clearly stating if your child has finished the book or if you would like to continue reading the book, please record any observations regarding your child’s reading in the reading record. We expect that the children will read every night or at least 5 times a week to ensure the child can begin to apply their phonic knowledge. Water Bottles: Please can you ensure you child comes into school with a clearly labelled water bottle. Uniform: Please note that earrings and trainers are not part of the school uniform and therefore should not be worn in school. Please don’t hesitate to come to us with any questions or queries you may have. We are sure that your child will have a fantastic first year at St Benedict’s. Miss Gordon and Mrs Everett |

Fire Brigade Visit
Today the children had a special visit from the Fire Brigade! The children listened so beautifully to fire safety and whilst the firemen showed us all their special tools they have to keep us safe. We were so lucky to be able to sit in the fire engine and see the flashing lights and siren! What a great afternoon, the teachers were amazed how grown up, sensible and polite the children were! Well done. Thank you to Cheshire East Fire Service.
The Gingerbread Man
This week we have been learning all about The Gingerbread Man. Over the weekend the sneaky fox came into the classroom and stole some numbers off our number line. The children have been problem solving working out how to remember what number comes next. We then planned how many gingerbread men we needed for a tea party but we had to make sure we cooked ONE MORE in case he ran away again! The children worked so hard so we decided to bake the gingerbread men! We have had a wonderful time solving maths problems!
How God Create the World
This week we have been learning all about how God created the world.
Here is a video of Reception remaking the world, just like God did. We had a lovely time.
