Class 1 This week Reception took advantage of the autumn sunshine and had a walk around the village. They spotted lots of signs of autumn and were fantastic ambassadors for the school. We have been working hard with our phonics and blending and have really impressed everyone with how many phonemes we know. In Literacy, Reception have completed their work on 'The Something', working hard to make their plans and use them to come up with their own sentences. In our SCARF sessions we have been talking about different emotions and have linked in with our Colour Monster feelings register. We all enjoyed taking part in RE week. We learned a little about El Salvador and took great care decorating our own brightly coloured crosses.

Class 1 have had another busy week. We thoroughly enjoyed our challenges on our Maths Day, demonstrating some fantastic problem solving and teamwork. In Maths we have been working on the number 4, finding different ways to build it, inside and out. In our SCARF sessions we continued learning about what makes us special, with a show and tell of things that are important to us. The children listened carefully and asked some very thoughtful questions. We had a brilliant session at the Forest on Tuesday, spotting lots of signs of autumn while exploring and keeping warm with hot chocolate. During play: we have been busy in the mud kitchen making menus and working hard in our mud cafe; we have explored how different ramps affect the speed of cars; we've been creating our own collages in our creative area and we have set each other challenges on the trim trail and obstacle course.

Class 1 We have had a very busy week in Class 1 and are very impressed with how our children are settling into our new routines. Our phonics sessions have begun, with Nursery focusing on nursery rhymes while Reception are learning new phonemes and graphemes each day - they are doing amazingly! In SCARF we are talking 'All About Us' - what we like, what makes us happy, and why it's good to be different. In maths we have been busy sorting as well as helping our visitor Mr Parrot to count out his toys carefully. In literacy Reception have begun their work based on 'The Something', with lots of brilliant ideas, while Nursery have been focussing on 'The Tiger who came for Tea'. We had a fantastic time at our first Forest School of the year - what a sunny afternoon! We are looking forward to many more adventures over the next few weeks, although probably less sunny ones.

Class 1 What a fantastic few days we have had in Class 1! We have spent lots of time exploring inside and out - thankfully the weather has meant lots of practice on the new trim trail and climbing equipment, our huge new chalk board has been in action and the sand pit has been busy as always. It has been lovely to see how kind and caring our children are: welcoming new friends; taking turns; playing together and working as a team. We have shared stories, enjoyed snack, sung songs, celebrated friends' successes (swimming, horse riding, first time on a plane), worked on our self-portraits and made sand smoothies. Well done, everyone!

Class 1 have enjoyed watching the work on our exciting new outdoor area, looking at the different machines and guessing what's going to happen next. We have enjoyed spending lots of time playing with our friends before our summer break. We have also been practising our number formation, tricky words, and making posters to tell our new starters all about Class One. Have a fabulous, well deserved break and we'll see you in September!
