Goldilocks and the Three Bears
The role play was set up as the Three Bears cottage and the children loved making porridge and feeding the bear puppets. We are really good at retelling the story!
We tried real porridge too, some said it was too hot, some said it was too cold but most said it was just right.
Our first topic was linked to Oliver Jeffers story 'Here we are'. The children in Reception settled well and enjoyed a variety of space activities during their settling in weeks.

Today we held our first family Friday since covid began. We loved inviting our parents into school to make their family tree painting. It is a pleasure to get to know our new families and welcome them to the family of St Kentigern's Catholic Primary school.
Today we have had a GO green day. This follows on from our virtual assembly where we learnt about us being 'the eyes of the world' and looking after the world, our common home for future generations. We made Green promises and we hope to make a difference.
School dinners are so yummy. Before we ate our meal together we said Grace to thank God for our food.
Bless us O God as we sit together. Bless the food we eat today. Bless the hands that make the food. Bless us O God. Amen.
We have had a wonderful start to the school year in Reception. We have made many new friends and the children are starting to settle. Our theme has been based around the story 'Here we are' By Oliver Jeffers. Already the children have impressed us with their excellent creations.
We met a real life author this morning! Tamar gave us a very important message through her story
- we need to look after our wonderful world
