Welcome to Reception
Dear parents,
This week Reception focused using finger spaces and lower case letters when writing and discovering new sounds.
The children also learnt more about healthy food, exercising and how our bodies work.
This week has being the Science Week, where we discovered what is a saturated solution and how to measure the wind.
Next week we will celebrate Holy Week and we will be getting creative. Please bring any recycled materials for your children to use, e.g. washed milk bottles, egg boxes etc. Thank you 
St Cyprian’s will be taking part in a walk and wheel to school competition from 21st March to 1st April!
How it works
On each day of the challenge schools compete to see
who can record the greatest number of pupils walking,
using a wheelchair, scooting or cycling to school.
A school’s best five days will determine their final position
and schools at the top of their leaderboards will receive an
exclusive Sustrans Big Walk and Wheel certificate.
There are also opportunities to win individual prizes.
Be part of something BIG
Our vision is a society where the way we travel creates
healthier places and happier lives for everyone

Dear Parents,
First and second week of this term children focussed on the topic ‘All about me’. They recognised the importance of exercise and healthy food. They identified the ways to make healthy eating choices.
In Literacy children talked about the story events beginning, middle and end, sequencing all the events. They also talked about the characters in the story. They drew their favourite character and wrote a caption by using their phonic sounds.
In Maths children learnt ‘doubles as special combinations of two numbers. Children Modelled the language: ‘Double 1 is 2 by placing 2-shape side by side.
Home work:
Healthy living means making choices that result in a healthy body and mind. To be healthy means to not be sick. Generally, a person can maintain a healthy lifestyle by eating a healthy diet and exercising. In order for the body to function properly, it needs nutrients.
Could you draw a poster about a Healthy life style? What are the Key Elements to a Healthy Lifestyle?
Have a lovely weekend.
Best regards
Reception teachers.
