This week we started our week with RE. We learnt abut the Creation story. We talked about all that God made and then made our world using tissue paper and made a creation paper chain for our prayer area.

On Tuesday, we began our first topic based on the book ‘All are Welcome’. We have been busy painting a self portrait for our gallery which will go up next week. We will share our finished gallery next week!

In maths we have been matching and sorting. We explored matching pairs and found out that in a matching pair the items must be the same. We also made our own matching buttons. We experimented with different ways to sort and all had a go at sorting objects/buttons in different ways.

It has been another wonderful week. The children are settling more and more each day. Next week we will begin our daily phonic sessions and we will start to send out our reading books.

Have a lovely weekend!

Reception have had another fantastic week. Our highlight has been exploring our new outdoor area. We particularly enjoyed the construction and the water tray. We have been practicing our climbing and balancing skills on our new climbing frame too!

The children are continuing to settle in beautifully and are working hard to make new friends.

Next week we will begin our ‘All Are Welcome’ topic and will create our own gallery!

Reception have had a fantastic first week at school. We have enjoyed exploring our new environment and have made lots of new friends. Mrs Smith and Mrs Elkins are very impressed with how well we have settled in. We are very much looking forward to the year ahead!
