Congratulations to all of the children who completed the Summer Reading Challenge at the library this year.  

This week for maths we have been exploring length.  

We looked objects that were long and short and then went into the classroom and found other objects to compare.  

This Monday we were lucky to take part in a class orienteering activity.  
The children were split into groups and tasked with finding various animals around the site.  
The weather was kind and we all had a great time searching for the animals and remembering them.  
Esme won our kindest…

This week the children have started their phonics journey and have been introduced to the first sounds. The children have then independently created the letter sounds using loose parts and through mark making! What superstars! 

As part of our RSHE work, the children have been looking at self - portraits and what makes us special and unique. The children then used loose parts to create a self portraits! 

The children have loved exploring our new mud kitchen in our outdoor area! The children have engaged in pretend and messy play by cooking with mud and water. Our mud kitchen has been great for the children to develop their fine motor skills and engage in role play. 

Our very first stars of the week in Reception, but very well done to everyone for an amazing week.  The children have been brilliant at settling in and finding their feet!

Some more of our pictures from this week.  Settling in and making new friends. 

The children have been exploring their new classrooms. They have loved playing in all the areas and making new friends.
