It’s been a busy start to the new academic year. We are amazed at how well the children are coping with settling into their new environment. Over the past few days (as well as being elbow deep in water and paint) we have been learning about the basic rules and procedures in our Reception class to ensure everyone can play happily together in a safe and well-organised environment. We appreciate that many have never attended a full day in a school setting before and that can be exhausting! We’ve all had great fun getting to know our new friends, and we are so happy you have joined our wonderful class!!

The children are doing very well at coming into Reception independently. We have been showing the children how to hang their coat up by the hook, how to turn the arms of their coat the right way around and how to take off jumpers/cardigans if too hot and place in their tray. Well done Children!

Our theme for this half-term is ‘Creation – Good to be Me’. We will be focusing on the Personal, Social and Emotional Development of your child. We have been getting to know each other a little bit more by doing lots of circle time activities and talking about ourselves.
