Reception Reading Week

We have been continuing our love for Reading Week in our phonics sessions. We have now started shared reading and we are enjoying trying to read our green words using our blending skills!

Keep up the super work everyone.

If you would like to check out our Shared Reading book or the sounds that we are learning weekly, please have a look at our EYFS Extended Study tab and this information will be shared weekly.

Reception Reading Week

We have had so much fun in our reading week this week, our children have been really excited about discussing reading, reading in provision and especially being able to buy some brand new books.
We have been taking time to read together in our COOL time.

We especially liked reading stories linked to our Expedition. It has inspired us to read more in our COOL time.

Nursery & Reception Family Learning Wednesday 1st November

On Wednesday 1st November we are delighted to announce that The Education Group will be coming in to host our Family Learning session. One adult member of your family is invited to celebrate Diwali with your child and have the opportunity to be taught some traditional Bollywood dancing by a professional dancer.

We kindly ask for you to pay £5 on your child’s ParentPay account which will include a 45 minute dance workshop for one adult and one child.

More details will follow next week where you will be allocated a time slot to attend your dance workshop.

We are all very much looking forward to the day and hope you are able to come and celebrate with your child.

Thank you for your continued support in your child’s learning.

Reception Owl Experience

The children in Reception had a fantastic visit from ‘The Yorkshire Owl Experience’. The children loved listening to Steve about the owls and enjoyed having the opportunity to stroke and hold some owls. We learned many new words and facts about owls. Their names, more about their habitat, feeding and the different types of owls. All children have personal photographs in their learning files that will be shared with you as the year progresses.

Well done to these children for being Crew champions this week. These children have been paying close attention to our Crew Norms and have demonstrated amazing HOWLs. They have been great role models to all of their friends in Reception .

Well done

Reception Fieldwork

We had such a lovely visit to enhance our learning of our Expedition question , “What do stories tell us about Autumn?”

We had an amazing time hunting for the Gruffalo on the Gruffalo Trail and in the afternoon we were inspired by our beautiful surroundings and made some lovely nature art.

A special and enormous thankyou to all of our adults that joined us for the day. Without you, visits like this would not be possible for our children so huge thanks from all of us!

The children did amazingly well and we were so proud of them.
