Term 2 

People Who Help Us

We have begun a new topic about people who help us. We already know lots of people who help us and will be using non-fiction books to research more about them.

Autumn is here! Leaves are falling everywhere in our outdoor area! It is real fun! We have read the beautiful sensory story of Leaf Man and collected leaves to create our own leaf creatures.

Term 1

All About Me

What a busy start of the year! The children have spent their first couple of weeks in reception and they have all settled really well.

They have becoming familiar with their new learning environments and are learning the rules and routine of their new setting.

This term the children will learn all about themselves and others and how special they all are! Find more information about our learning in our newsletter.

The Little Red Hen

We have been learning about our body and our 5 senses through exciting activities.

We put our taste buds, our hands, our eyes and nose to the test and blindfolded!
