We’re going hunting!

The children in Reception have been busy innovating the popular story ‘we’re going on a bear hunt’ this week. We experimented with changing the settings to new ones, thinking of ways to describe them. Some children decided to keep the original settings and change the character that they were hunting for, from dragons, to tigers to snails! The children had a go at recording the journeys within their stories on story maps.

Exploring our new Early Years outdoor area

The children in nursery and reception have been so excited to explore our new outdoor area! We have a new texture kitchen to make pies, potions and perfumes, a core strength area, water wall, maths and literacy zone and our own mini ‘Community Park’. A big thank you to Cool Canvas for creating this amazing space for our children to learn 🙂

Mark making in Reception

This week in Reception we have enjoyed trying some large mark making. Some children have chosen to write some of the sounds we have learnt in phonics and even some number sentences! See if you can try this at home. All you need is a table and a large piece of paper and some pens 🙂

Starting Reception

We have had a fantastic time getting to know the children in their first few days at school! The children have settled in brilliantly and have enjoyed exploring their classrooms.

This week the children have been looking closely to create super self portraits.

Welcome to Reception

We are so excited to see your smiling faces tomorrow. Follow the signs to the Fieldfare Entrance and then come on down to the playground gate, where you will be able to drop off your child for the next three days. We will have the bubbles going and hopefully you will be able to spot some familiar faces from the story-time videos. We can’t wait to see you!

Nursery transition week w/c 7th September

We are really looking forward to welcoming the nursery children into school next week!

You should have previously received a letter via email, with details of your child’s two transition sessions. The transition sessions will last for 1 and a half hours each and there will be a smaller number of children. Due to current restrictions parents are not able to attend the sessions and we are asking you to leave your child with us at the nursery gate. We will be happy to give you a call and let you know how they have settled.
