The reception classes have been busy learning about the four seasons, particularly autumn in the recent weeks. They have looked for signs of autumn outside and collected autumn treasures with their families which they brought into school to talk about and create a display. Our shared stories have inspired our children in the art room and they have made some wonderful ‘Leaf Man’ collages. They have learned about harvest time, enjoying our special celebration at the church with members of the community. There were lots of mucky fingers when we pulled up our carrots from outside! During this we had some lovely discussions about the wonderful shapes and sizes of carrot we had grown.
Snack Time
We enjoy our snack time in reception and are learning new skills so that we can be independent when preparing our different snacks. Recently the children have been using knives safely to chop fruits to make fruit kebabs and learning how to spread just the right amount of butter or jam on to a cracker!
PE Sessions begin
Class 1 and 2 have enjoyed their first PE sessions in the hall this week. To begin with there was lots of excellent listening and following instructions to make sure that everybody was safe during our session in the hall with the equipment. All of the children enjoyed practising lots of physical skills whilst keeping themselves and others safe.
Starting School in September 2022
Children in Class 1 and Class 2 have had a wonderful start to the year. They have very quickly learnt new routines and it has been lovely to see friendships begin to develop. The boys and girls have had a range of snacks including carrots, bananas and cheese on crackers. Well done everyone!
