    Reading- 14th October

    We have been reading the story of Paddington Bear in Reception and Year 1. The children have shown great listening to this story and have been retelling the key events with accuracy and confidence. Year 1 children have completed writing based on the story, whilst Reception have completed different activities based on Paddington's adventure in London. The children enjoyed passing around the Paddington toy, and we discussed questions we could ask Paddington about his adventure.

    Phonics- 13th October

    Reception children are making fantastic progress with their phonics. We have learnt three 'tricky words' (I, is, the) and eighteen different sounds (s,a,t,p,i,n,m,g,o,c,k,ck,e,u,r,b,p,h) so far. Children are now learning to read and write CVC words such as sat, pan and tip, which they are enjoying. Great work Reception!

    Autumn Walk- 24th September

    Reception children went on a walk around the school grounds to find signs of Autumn. Each child had a checklist and clipboard, which they enjoyed using. The children found conkers, acorns, a variety of leaves and a squirrel.

    End of the First Full Week- 11th September

    Reception children enjoyed lots of different activities this week during our 'play to learn' time. They have had a fantastic first full week at school! Next week we will start our phonics, learning a new sound each day.

    First Day- 4th September

    Earth Class have had a fantastic first day at school!

    Reception children enjoyed exploring their new classroom and engaged well with all the different activities. We listened to nursery rhymes and read 'The First Day at Bug School' together. During circle time, children took it in turns to tell the class their name and favourite colour. We also made crowns to celebrate the first day at school! At lunch time, the children showed us with their fantastic sitting and listening skills.

    Year One children impressed us with their enthusiasm and confidence in the classroom today! They set a fantastic example to our reception children and enjoyed getting to know the new children. Year One enjoyed their morning maths challenge, showed great listening during phonics and produced some great writing in English!

    Well done on a fantastic first day Earth Class, we are very proud of you all.
