Reception Class 1, Term 3
Curriculum Bulletin
I hope everybody had a fantastic Christmas break and is enjoying the beginning of the New
Year. It’s lovely to see the children back at school looking happy and well rested! We have a
couple of trips planned this term so if you are able to help with any of them please do let me
know when the letters are sent out nearer the time. Our topic this term is bears and if anybody
has a very old bear we could borrow for a day I would be very grateful, we are going to be
looking at how we can tell things are old and new. If the children have any resources or books
they would like to bring in about the topic to show the class they are welcome to.
Any queries, please get in touch.

that you are spending time going through the
