Reception Den Day a huge, enjoyable success
Thankyou to all reception children and parents. We raised £30 for Save the children Den Day appeal. Well Done.
Half term 6 What is a shadow?
This half term we shall be exploring lots of ideas related to shadows and looking at stories related to night and day, sun and moon, light and dark. Our big focus for the next few weeks shall be Peter Pan, as we wish to explore all opportunities to develop children as writers, performers and problem solvers! The remainder of the term will have a strong emphasis on the children's transition to Y1 whilst also celebrating their reception achievements - of which there have been so many. We hope that you can join us at every opportunity and we shall inform you shortly of all of these dates for the remainder of the term. I hope your 'lost boys' are ready to come back to school for this exciting end to their reception year at Grange - we, the reception staff, are all looking forward to it. :)

Reading information for parents
Bug Club
For those parents who could not make the recent reading meeting, I just wanted to mention the bookmark that came home in your childs homework pack this week. On this website, there is a link to Bug Club, which is a fantastic online reading resource.
Your child has been allocated books suitable for them and the idea is that they read this with you and undertake an online activity which links to the text at the end. They may do as many books as they like but we encourage you to ensure they access this on a weekly basis for maximum benefit. Your child is just becoming a reader - encouraging them NOW to LOVE reading is the best way to ensure they are good readers as they move further up the school.
Please feel free to ask any questions or if you would like another demonstration after school I would be happy to do so. :)
There was an error processing this link (the page was not found).
Do dragons really exist? Our visit proved that they do when we met the bearded variety and some of his friends :)
Did Dragons Really Exist?
This may be the question your child asks you on returning home from school this week! Our focus this term is around this question which will give us an opportunity to explore reptiles (with some visiting us ) medieval costume and castles.
Hopefully you will have all finished making your marvellous shields with your family coat of arms over the break so that our castle can be decorated with each childs work.
Please note that also this term the children shall be doing PE on Mondays as well as Thursdays.
