What a wonderful week we've had in Reception! This week our focus has been on settling into our daily routines and learning our school rules. The children have done a fantastic job getting to know the expectations in Reception and are becoming more confident each day. We were also excited to meet some of our specialist teachers. The children enjoyed meeting Mr Mills, our PE teacher, and Mrs Lawrence, our music teacher. We also took part in our whole-school music assembly, which was a lovely opportunity to sing together with the rest of the school. We have begun our Little Wandle phonics programme. This week the children have been working on identifying the initial sounds in words and practising oral blending, listening carefully to sounds and putting them together to make words.

Welcome

    WELCOME What a fantastic start we have had in nursery this week. The children have settled well and have enjoyed all the new experiences on offer in the setting. I hope it has not been too stressful for you all as I know how it feels to leave your child for the first time. Please be reassured that if your child is upset we will endeavour to sort it and comfort them. We will also contact you if they do not settle as we are happy for you to adjust their hours until they do. Please can you make sure that jumpers and lunch boxes are clearly labelled with your child's name, as all the children wear the same jumpers and are not always the best at looking after their belongings at this age.

Hello all, This week, we made the most of the beautiful weather by spending lots of time learning and playing outdoors. The children had a wonderful time exploring, creating and working together in our outdoor environment. It was lovely to see their imaginations flourish as they mixed and created magical potions using natural materials. In the mud kitchen, the children enjoyed cooking up delicious pretend meals, sharing ideas and taking turns as they played together. They also worked collaboratively to design and build exciting obstacle courses, thinking carefully about how to make them fun and challenging for their friends. The tree swing was a firm favourite this week, providing plenty of laughter and excitement, while climbing trees helped the children develop their confidence, balance and coordination. The sand pit was another busy area, where children dug, built and created together, developing their fine motor skills and problem-solving abilities. Outdoor play offers so many valu...

Hello all,  This week in Reception, we began an exciting gardening project to create our very own vegetable patch in the Foundation area. The children were enthusiastic and eager to get involved as they helped to build a raised garden bed. They worked together to transfer the soil into the new bed, showing great teamwork. On Thursday, the Reception children spent some time in their new Year 1 classroom with Mrs Flatley. They enjoyed exploring their new learning environment, meeting Mrs Flatley, and taking part in activities together. The children are super excited to begin this new chapter in their education, and it was wonderful to see their confidence and enthusiasm as they looked ahead to September. Maths In maths we continued with creating repeating patterns with the focus on creating own pattern rule. We also used positional language to build and compare scenes. Phonics This week in phonics we revisited tricky word and introduced words ending with- est e.g. brightest, sweetest...
