# News from Reception

This week, the children have continued to explore the topic, ‘Dangerous Dinosaurs’. They were particularly excited to discover a mysterious parcel that arrived on Tuesday morning. The box had interesting words on it like ‘fragile’ and ‘handle with care’, along with pictures of dinosaur skeletons. Using these clues, the children predicted the contents of the box. When they finally opened it, the children were surprised to find some fossilised dinosaur eggs. This sparked some fantastic discussions and writing about what may have hatched from these eggs millions of years ago. In addition to this dinosaur exploration, the children have enjoyed making their own dinosaurs at the creative table.

On Wednesday, the children presented themselves beautifully during our walk to church to celebrate Ash Wednesday. Some of our Reception children wrote prayers, which they read out with confidence in front of the congregation. All of the children sang beautifully and had a wonderful time participating in this special event.

Walking to church on Ash Wednesday and praying together at the start of Lent reflects our value of Hope.
