Hello all, This week in Reception, we’ve had a fantastic time celebrating Black History Month through stories, songs, and play. The children have been immersed in learning about identity, culture, and the beauty of diversity. We read two wonderful books – "Happy in My Skin" and "So Much" – which the children really enjoyed. These stories sparked lovely conversations about self-love, family, and what makes us all special. A big thank you to Miss Nadie , who taught us a beautiful song from Tanzania called "Si Mama Ka." The children loved learning the rhythm and trying out new words in a different language. We also sang "Hello to All the Children of the World" – a joyful song that celebrates greetings in many languages and helped the children think about how people say hello across the globe. Outside, the fun continued! The children made fantastic use of the large tires in our outdoor area – rolling them, building houses, and creating their...

Hello all, This week in Reception, we embarked on an exciting adventure into the fascinating world of spiders! Our learning journey was inspired by the wonderful story The Very Busy Spider by Eric Carle, which captured the children’s imaginations with its charming tale of a hardworking spider spinning her web. To deepen our understanding, we explored a variety of spider facts through reading fact books and watching informative videos.

A highlight of our week was a hands-on activity where the children created their own spider webs using wool. They carefully wound and looped the wool around sticks, practicing their fine motor skills while imagining themselves as busy spiders spinning intricate webs. This exploratio...

Hello all, We would like to say a huge thank you to all the parents and carers who joined us for our Harvest Festival Coffee Morning . It was lovely to see so many of you in school, celebrating this special time of year with us. We are especially grateful for the amazing collection of autumn treasures you brought in – from conkers, acorns, pinecones, to beautifully coloured leaves . The children have absolutely loved exploring and using these natural items in their learning. They've been counting conkers, sorting leaves by size and colour, making autumn-themed art, and even building their own woodland scenes! While playing outdoors this week, the children have been fascinated by the many spiderwebs appearing in the corners of the playground and garden – a true sign that autumn is here! Their curiosity has inspired our next topic: Spiders! Next week, we’ll be learning all about these clever little creatures – how they spin webs, where they live, and the important jobs they do...
