Class 4’s fabulous first week!

30th August 2025Lorna Jones

We’ve had another wonderful couple of days with our second group of children, who have also enjoyed a fantastic start to Reception. They made the most of the sunshine outdoors and loved exploring our indoor environment too. There’s been lots of creativity with drawing, imaginative play in small world, relaxing in our new chill space, and plenty of experimenting with the pipes to see how we can move the water just where we want it!

We hope you all have a lovely weekend. We can’t wait to see everyone together on Monday for another exciting week ahead, including our first Parents Stay and Play with stories and s’mores, our very first XP Outdoors session with Mr Kershaw, and of course, our very own Reception Water Day!

First few days in class 4!

27th August 2025Lorna Jones

We have had such a lovely first couple of days in Reception with our first group of new children. They have enjoyed lots of fun exploring both the inside and outside areas, from crafting, playdough, and the home corner to dancing, playing the keyboard book to the tune of Twinkle Twinkle, digging in the sandpit, and so much more! The children have settled beautifully and are already showing that they are definitely ready for this exciting new chapter in Reception. I can’t wait to see them all again on Monday.

Reception transition day 2!

10th July 2025Lorna Jones

What a beautiful final transition day it has been! The children were absolutely amazing—super confident, joyful, and clearly ready to begin their exciting Reception journey. Their enthusiasm and independence shone through, making us incredibly proud of how far they’ve come already. A heartfelt thank you to all the parents who were able to join us for our “Sharing Stories” session at the end of the day—it was so special to celebrate this moment together. We can’t wait to welcome your little ones back as they officially begin this next chapter!

Class 6 transition day 1

9th July 2025Jayne Rodgers

Wow! We have had such a wonderful first transition day. The children have settled beautifully into their new setting and we have worked really hard as well as having lots of fun. We played crew-building games, designed zones of regulation characters and made a video, drew doodles for our new graffiti wall, completed jigsaws, built towers and got to know our new class mascot, Juicy. We danced, we sang, we had the best time!

Can’t wait to do it all again tomorrow. See you in the morning, Superstars!

Class 4 Transition day 1!

9th July 2025Lorna Jones

Our EYFS children had a beautiful first transition day, filled with confidence, smiles, and a sense of adventure. They embraced their new environment with excitement, trying lots of new activities and exploring every corner of their learning space. The day was themed around Belonging and The Very Hungry Caterpillar, inspiring creative play, storytelling, and curiosity. Outside, the fun continued with sand and water play, exploring the den and camping area, and enjoying lively dining and music sessions with Mr. Pickles. It was a joyful, sun-filled start to their journey, and we can’t wait to see what tomorrow brings!
