Autumn Term 1 - Settling In and Making Friends

It has been a very busy first half-term in Reception.

Learning new things every day is very tiring, but lots of FUN!

We shared a very special morning with our families on 21 October when we invited them to join us in our 'Welcome Celebration'. Our friends in Year 4 talked about all the things that make our school special and our parents/carers lit a candle for each of us as Father Kenny and Rev Alastair said prayers and blessed us as we begin our new journey at Emmaus. We loved showing our families how well we have settled into our new classes and sang our favourite songs about our special friend, Jesus.

Our first half-term in Reception...

We have had such a busy first few weeks in school and have enjoyed lots of exciting new experiences...

This week, we met Police Officers Tony and Stuart from Merseyside Police Dog Section who brought with them ‘Fred’ the robot dog! We listened to the police officers talk, then we had a chance to play interactively with ‘Fred’ and demonstrate that we now know how to read a dog’s body language; we remember to always ask permission from the dog's owner before we stroke a dog and understand that there are times when we should not disturb or bother a dog: if he is eating, sleeping or feeling poorly.
