Reception 5.12.25

Reception started their Christmas festivities with a BANG this week, starting off with our fantastic Nativity ‘Baaarmy Bethlehem’ and the children pulled out all the stops – what a super way to start our Christmas celebrations. Then we rolled into Jolly jumper day and Christmas dinner – thank you to the Kitchen staff for a delicious spread.  As if Christmas activities were not enough of a distraction, the Reception classes have had a naughty elf visit each day this week, much to the children’s delight – he first covered our class in toilet paper and then covered himself in stickers and gave himself all the red pom poms😊, which was deemed as very unfair to those not in Yew house!!
