In December, Reception went on their very first school trip to St Stephens Church on Angola Road. We walked along on a blustery morning and were met by Reverend Gary and members of Open the Book who told us the Christmas story. He told us about Baby Jesus being born in a stable and asked some of us to help with the story; Dylan and Alba were angels, Kit and Enys were sheep whilst Leon was Joseph and Muwada was Mary. Alberton helped Reverend Gary light the candle at the start.

We then learnt what a Christingle is and made one each. Back in the classroom the children drew their Christingle and have been remembering what each part meant.

We were so proud of how the children walked down. It was a lovely occasion for the children to be part of.

We have continued to enjoy visitors to Reception.

In November John Bond, a local author and illustrator came to visit our school as part of Springfield Day.

We all came together in the school hall and John started off by telling us about his childhood and how he came to find inspiration from the animals on the farm he lived on. John read his most popular book ‘How long is that dog?’ to the children before hosting a ‘draw along’ session. Each child was given a piece of paper and pencil and John took them through a step-by-step guide on how to draw the very long dog!

We were all very proud of our drawings and enjoyed meeting a real-life author and illustrator.

All the children have loved joining Springfield Infant School and Nursery this September. Everyone has settled really well and have enjoyed our topic ‘People Who Help Us’.

We have been lucky enough to be visited by Dr Brown, Josh from the RNLI and Worthing Fire Department. Who will visit next!
