In Reception we use Numicon to develop our knowledge of numbers.  Children enjoy using Numicon in lots of different ways.

CHRISTMAS FAIR – Friday 4th December 2015

This year the Christmas Fair will be held at 3.30pm. Each class will be putting together items for their own Christmas Stall and we are always grateful for any items you may want to donate.  This year your child’s class will be responsible for the:

 Free Craft Activity Table

If you would like to help, please begin to send your donations to school so that we can be sure there are enough items to create the Early Years Christmas Stall.

Also, if you feel you will be able to help in any way – this could be during the term to help keep things in order, during the afternoon of the Christmas Fair to help set up the stalls or at the Fair itself to help run the stall – please contact the PTA so they can contact you to arrange the times and days you will be able to help.  Any help is always really appreciated.

FLU VACCINATION – Monday 16th November 2015

The Flu vaccine will be offered to all pupils from Reception to Year 2 this year and the Nurse will be in school on Monday 16th November 2015 to administer it. Please look out for the consent form which will be sent home for you to read, sign and return to school before the vaccine can be given.

During the first full week back in school we all enjoyed being entertained by Key Strings.

Festival of Christmas Trees (Monday 24th November – Saturday 29th November)

Every year the Early Years children are busy designing and making decorations for the Christmas Tree which is entered into the Festival of Christmas Trees at the Prestatyn Parish Church. This year the theme is “The Magic of Christmas” and there is lots of activity down in Early Years with lots of glue and glitter.
If you would like to see support the school during the Festival, the tree will be on show at the church for the entire week with the results being announced on Saturday 29th November at 4pm.
The tree will then be in the Foyer at School right up until the Christmas break.

Here are some of the Christmas trees from previous years:

2011 the theme was Pantomimes and we chose Jack and the Bean Stalk
Christmas 2011

2012 the theme was Nursery Rhymes and we chose Hey Diddle Diddle
