A huge thank-you to everyone who came today to our two reading sessions to mark the final day of transition. It was lovely to see so many parents, carers and other family members enjoying a book with the new Class 6.
See you all in the Autumn term!
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!
Thank you to the new Crew Walton for a fantastic couple of days! We have explored the Zones of Regulation-creating super videos, developed our own Maths Story book, hosted 2 successful Reading sessions with parents and carers, had a dance class and had a generally lovely time getting to know one another! Bring on the Autumn Term!
We’ve had a lovely today thinking about enrichment, the Zones of Regulation and maths stories! Here we are thinking about the Zones of Regulation and thinking about which emotion matches which zone. Great work everyone – I’m looking forward to tomorrow!
We had a wonderful afternoon yesterday celebrating the end of our wonderful expedition; North, South, East, West. Where could your journey take you? We invited parents and carers to join us for a picnic with Paddington and sat in the lovely sunshine enjoying the sandwiches we had made.
Thanks as always to everyone who came along and made our Celebration of Learning a success!
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!
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!
As part of transition, we are welcoming you to join your child tomorrow to read and see their new classroom for half an hour! Please enter school in the morning with your children or go to classroom doors at 2.30pm to be let in.
Times:
EYFS – 2.30pm
Year 1 – Year 6 – 8.30am or 2.30pm
See you there!
Some of the lovely moments of Class 7 sharing their beautiful work with their adults!
We have worked hard to write our poems and get to the end. The children have been working on writing their own performance piece of poetry these last couple of weeks. Understanding that rhythm, rhyme, verbs, similes and onomatopoeic words play a large part in a good performance poem.
We might not get to the official write up but they have done a wonderful job in a short time producing some lovely poetry based on an erupting volcano.
Here they are giving each other that last helping hand and sharing their efforts with a friend.
