Summer Term 2
Who do I aspire to be?

Dear Parents and Carers,
It has been lovely to see our amazing Reception learners return to school after the term happily. We have loved hearing all their news and what they have been up to.
This term so far we have continued our exciting Quest of ‘Who do I aspire to be?’. We have been following this Quest of enchantment and allowed it to lead us to explore our interests and dreams even more.

We had an exciting delivery of caterpillars when we returned to school. This has led to some exciting learning about life cycles and minibeasts.
We have also been having lots of fun in the sun; learning and playing in our outdoor area and enjoying our school grounds.
 
Cool Milk;
Just to let you know that our subscription with Cool Milk stops when children enter into Year 1. Also you will be aware from Cool Milk, that when your child turns 5 you have to then pay for your child to have milk at school. We do have to stick to the list and consent given from parents to ensure we are meeting the needs with allergies and intolerances.

A few children have recently been asking for milk but are currently not on the list since their birthday. We appreciate that there are only a few more weeks of Cool Milk, but we also wanted to make you aware so that you can have a chat with your child and set up Cool Milk with your child if this is something your child wants for the remainder of Reception.

Keyrings
Whilst we value our children’s individuality and feel it’s important that children can identify their belongings easily, we are finding that book bags are getting an increasing number of keyrings on them. Some of these keyrings are quite large and struggling to fit in our book bag boxes. Also, we’ve dealt with a number of instances recently where children are playing with their keyrings and they are getting broken or they are swapping keyrings with other children. We would really appreciate your support and ask for there to be just one keyring per bag.  
 
Parents evening RN
Thank you so much to our parents of RN with your understanding regarding the rescheduling of parents evening. We invite those parents that would like to make an appointment with Mrs Matthews to do so once the end of year reports have been sent out. This will then give you chance to read this and discuss anything further with Mrs Matthews. We will be sending further information out about this closer to the time.
 
Warm weather

We are loving this warm weather and are excited for more of it to come. We do ask that all children can be sent into school with a sun hat. We also ask that sun cream is applied before school. If you feel your child will need to reapply suncream at some point in the day, then please send a named bottle in their book bag.
 
Thank for your continued support and have a lovely half term break,
The Reception Team
