Nursery & Reception Family Learning Wednesday 1st November

28th September 2023Elizabeth Hay

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.

Today we had our very first shared reading session in Crew Wallace. It was a lovely experience and the children worked really well together in their reading partners and as a Crew. It made me so proud!

Well done Crew Wallace 😊

Reception Owl Experience

21st September 2023Rebecca Carter

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.

Reception Fieldwork

19th September 2023Amanda Wallace

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.

Reception- Hooking into phonics!

19th September 2023Rebecca Carter

This week the children have been practicing hearing their first set of phonemes in words s/a/t/p, fast blending the phonemes to say words and at breaking down the phonemes in a word!

We have been writing the grapheme in lots of different ways to become more confident and remember how to form the graphemes correctly!
