Welcome to Reception Class S at Allerton CE Primary School in Leeds. Here, under the careful guidance of Mrs Shipley, we will blog to the Big Wide World.

Happy Blogging!
The buddying relationships between our Reception children and their older peers in Year 6 are always precious. The children met on Monday and have had the opportunity to start getting to know one another during lunch time play this week. Reception parents will meet their child’s buddy at the ‘All about Me’ box exhibition on Wednesday 24th September.
We have also had the opportunity to meet our chicken. We talked about how we can keep her healthy – by giving her space to exercise; fresh water; food and a clean straw bed, on which to lay the eggs (which we love to collect and count). Wrapping the eggs carefully is a DT challenge! We would love to see how you eat your eggs. If you have any pets at home, we would enjoy seeing photos and hearing about how you care for them – via Tapestry, please.
This week, we welcomed nearly all of this year’s RS into school. School bears were cuddled, self-portraits were drawn, friends were reunited, new friendships were made, ‘All about Me’ boxes were delved into, delicious lunches were enjoyed in the dinner hall, indoor and outdoor areas were explored, models were created in the workshop, tea parties were held in the home corner, sorting and tidying was practised and we made our first visit to our class tree: a Ribston Pippin. The adults were really impressed by the kindness, good manners and wonderful approach to our early learning on display. Well done, children, and thank you, parents, for your support.
On Monday, one more member of RS will arrive and, in the afternoon, we will meet our wonderful and caring Year 6 buddies: how exciting!
