Toy and bears

Hi all,

Well we have been really busy settling into 2011!  Everyone has been trying really hard and I can't believe how the children have grown!  Well done with the effort put into the reading books.  Thanks very much for all your support. 

This term as you are aware our topic is 'Toys and Bears'.  Lots of the children have already brought in an old teddy bear.  My nanna kindly let me borrow her really old bear.  It has saw dust inside it!  The children didn't think it was soft at all!

We have bought some new dolls for our library. if you have any unwanted baby clothes, dolls, dolls prams please send them to school and we will put them to good use!

This week we are doing Lots about Goldilocks and the 3 bears.  We are making porridge and doing lots of sorting and ordering objects.  If the children have their own copies of Goldilocks they would like to bring to school that would be great.

Thanks for your continued support!

Bye of now

Christmas with the Aliens!

Wow!  Well done to each and every one of you for your brilliant performance in the Christmas concert!  I am so proud of you all and I'm sure your mums and dads are too, judging by the huge applause at the end.  You have all worked really hard learning all your lines!

Thank ever so much to Mrs Moore, Mrs Lee, Mrs Burkhardt, Miss Robinson and Mrs Hargreaves for helping back stage with the children, we could not have managed without you!  Also thanks to Mrs Brooks who helped dress the children too.  The Year 6 children did a super job at helping the children dress and put all the chairs out in the hall.  Thanks very much- you are all really grown up now and we are lucky to have such sensible Year 6 children.

Its party time and craft time now at Maesybryn!  We have a Christmas party next Tuesday afternoon-letters to follow.  The glitter is at the ready to start some more Christmas craft tomorrow!  I can't wait!

Hope all the poorly children get well soon!
See you tomorrow,
Miss Jervis

Costumes! Craft! Christmas time is lots of fun.....

Hi all,

Just a quick reminder to bring your costumes in on Friday ready for the concert.  (On hanger/in bag labelled with name) If any one is having any problems with their costume please let me know and I'll do the best I can to help.  I saw some super outfits in ASDA at the weekend.

You are all singing beautifully for the concert and saying your lines confidently!  Mums and Dads will be really proud!!!

Also, if your child hasn't brought in a jar please could you asap as we are using them for our craft this week.

Take care on the icy roads

see you in the morning

Miss Jervis :)

Thanks for all your support this week!

Hi Everyone,

Just a little note to say thank you for all your support this week after hearing the sad news about Mrs Williams.  All your kind messages are greatly appreciated by us all. Mrs Williams was so wonderful and we all have lots of happy and fond memories of her.

It was good to meet with you all at parents evening this week and discuss all the progress your child has made.  They have all settled well and are really enjoying their time in Reception.

The children have also brought home their parts for the Christmas Concert. I would be greatful if you could practise their lines with them if they have come home with any.  Also, if you have any queries about the costumes call in and see a member of staff who will be happy to help.

Thanks for your continued support,

Hope we see some sun this weekend!!

Happy Half Term!

Hi all,

Wishing you all a super half term, enjoy the break!  Thanks for a great half term so far, so many lovely memories- our trip to Cefn Mably Farm, a visit from the Post Master, our coffee afternoon to name a few!

I have a feeling next half term will be just as busy with our Christmas concert!

Thanks for all your support and I will look forward to speaking with you all at Parents evening.

All the Best To Mrs Burton-Little with her new beautiful baby boy, we can't wait to see him and we welcome Mrs Morris on board!

Enjoy the break,

Miss Jervis

Harvest time is here!

Hi all

We have been busy bumble bees in Area 3 this last fortnight with our mini topic 'Birthdays'.  We changed our role play into a birthday tea party and we designed cards and invitations.  We also made a Birthday wall and the children all told me when their Birthday is.  The children designed and made healthy sandwiches too!  We had a Freaky Friday and played pass the parcel and music statues and had our sandwiches and party food.  It was a really fun end to the topic. 

We are looking at 'The Farm' for the next fortnight, getting ready for our trip on the 18th October to Cefn Mably farm!

We sent letters home on Friday about our coffee afternoon on Tuesday 19th October.  We really hope you can come and see the children singing their harvest songs and showing you some of the craft they have been up to this term. 

Wow.... Its flying by!!!

See you all tomorrow

Miss Jervis
