Whoosh, wheee and wow!  These were all words to be heard in Reception this week as we went on the first of many magical adventures. After lunch on Monday there was a surprise waiting for us in the classroom. It was Mrs Johnstone’s very own Magic Carpet. We couldn’t quite believe our eyes. We all…

Welcome back everyone! We had a very chatty start to our week as we had all missed each other so much and had a lot to catch up on. We then wrote all about our Christmas presents and holiday fun in our News books. Mrs Johnstone was very pleased that we only needed a couple…

Remember, remember, the 5th of November! We have come back to school with a definite, bang, sparkle, crackle, whizz, whee and pop this week.
