Sports Day Fun 

What a joyful week it has been in EYFS! the weather was perfect for our Sports Day and it was a fantastic success. The children showed amazing energy, teamwork, and determination throughout all the events. We were so pleased with their enthusiasm and perseverance, and it was lovely to see so many smiles and cheers from everyone involved. A huge thank you to all the parents and carers who came along to support – your encouragement meant the world!

We can’t believe how quickly our caterpillars are growing! They have changed so much since they first arrived, and it has been exciting to watch them develop each day. On Friday, we noticed that one of our caterpillars had started to build its chrysalis. We can’t wait to see what happens over the weekend and are looking forward to observing the next stage of their amazing life cycle when we return.

Maths

In maths we were exploring the concept of grouping and sharing into equal quantities.

Phonics

In phonics we practised reading longer words such as: screech, smear, screen. We also wrote short sentences related to sports day.

 REMINDER

PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE can you check your child's cardigans at home. We have  14  unclaimed cardigans that have no names in and have many that are missing that do have names in. These cardigans are not in school and must have gone home by mistake by other children. ALL CLOTHING SHOULD HAVE CLEAR LABELS IN THEM. A BIRO WILL NOT LAST AND WASHES OUT. From September please make sure that everything is labelled. We can not take responsibility for clothing with no names.

Have a good weekend !

 Hello all,  It was lovely to welcome the new Reception class this week. We were very impressed with how calm and engaged in play the children were on their first days of school. The children are slowly becoming familiar with the new routines and new friendships are being established. We have enjoyed singing and story time together. The class took part in PE sessions with Mr Mills and the music lesson with Mrs Lawrence which were lots of fun.  Each week Reception class will take part in three PE sessions  ( Monday, Wednesday, Thursday) and on Tuesdays the children will be joining the whole school for the music assembly and will have a music lesson.  Next week Reception class will start Little Wandle Letters and Sounds Phonics programme and will take part in daily maths sessions.  Please remember to bring named welly boots next week if you haven't done it yet.  Have a lovely weekend!

  Celebrating Diwali in Reception! 🌟 This week, we had a wonderful time celebrating Diwali , the Hindu Festival of Lights! The classroom was full of colour, music, and happy smiles as the children explored a range of fun activities linked to this special festival. We began by creating beautiful Rangoli patterns , using bright colours and shapes to decorate our classroom. The children showed fantastic creativity and care in their designs! We also made some Diwali playdough sweets , rolling, shaping and decorating them just like real festive treats. Later, we lit up our divas and listened to peaceful Hindu flute music , helping us to think about light, kindness and new beginnings. The children loved dressing up in colourful saris and dancing to Diwali music — it was such a joyful celebration! A big thank you to Daveen , who brought in his traditional Diwali clothes to show the class. Everyone loved seeing the beautiful patterns and colours, and it helped us learn even more a...

 Hello all, What a busy week we have had in foundation. The children have settled so well and are beginning to relax into their learning.  We  have enjoyed the outdoor area as we continue to have the warm sun. This week, the children have been busy exploring all the exciting areas of our setting, from our  cosy book nook to the outdoor play space. They’ve enjoyed a variety of hands-on experiences designed to spark curiosity and build confidence – from messy play and sensory activities to role-play and construction.  This term, we’re excited to introduce Montessori activities into our Foundation. These special activities are designed to help your children develop essential skills in a fun, hands-on way. What are Montessori activities? Montessori activities are carefully chosen tasks that encourage children to learn by doing. They focus on fostering independence, concentration, and practical skills—all while making learning feel like play! Here’s how these activ...
