Reception
Another busy week in Reception has seen us exploring non-fiction texts and thinking deeply about factual writing.
We are looking forward to doing some learning based around the theme of dinosaurs, next week.
We are disappointed that many library books have been lost/misplaced at home. If you receive a reminder letter but can not find your child's book, we must ask that you either replace the book or pay the cost of replacement.

Welcome to a New Year and we hope that you had a restful and enjoyable Christmas break.
Reception children at Fawcett have made a great start to the new term.
This week the children have:
- Started thinking about themes linked with our topic 'On the Move'.
- Listened to and joined in with the text 'The Train Ride' as a springboard to further work in class.
- Learned about tally charts and how to create their own.
- Learned the phonemes 'ee' (see, need, bee) and 'ai' (rain, again, pain) and the tricky word 'put'.
- Started the great outdoors adventure that is Forest School.
Please remember that your child should have a named PE kit hanging on their peg for the whole of the term. PE is every Wednesday.
Your child should bring their book bag to school every day, especially on Friday, which is book-changing day.
Forest School takes place every Tuesday, alternating between Clare Class one week, Queens' Class the next. All children must come to school with warm clothing and have their wellington boots in school.
There are new dates available for our Mystery Reader slots on a Friday. If you have not yet been in to class to read a favourite book, please do sign up.
Enjoy your weekend!
The Reception Team.

While Fawcett School was cold and closed to pupils, the Reception Team stayed warm by doing lots of useful things. We now have a lovely new music wall and a water wall which will be ready to use, soon. We have also had a spring clean of our large construction area and our Mud Kitchen area.

A reminder: Maths Cafe Stay and Play at Fawcett on the morning of Tuesday 20th November and at Trumpington Meadows on Monday 26th November. All Parents and Carers welcome at either session.
A call-out: Parent volunteers wanted! We would like to start our Forest School program, but in order for this to happen we need 1-2 parent helpers per session. If you like the outdoors and are willing to help out on a regular basis (every Tuesday afternoon 1 - 3) please contact Ms Jannoch in Clare Class.
