Friday 6^th November

Welcome back! We hope that you had a restful half term and are ready for an exciting half term on the countdown towards Christmas. The children have come back to school refreshed and ready to learn. Our learning this week has focussed on the children writing CVC words, using their phonic knowledge. We have been so impressed with the children's independence and presentation skills. We have also been learning this week about the history of Bonfire Night and why we celebrate it with fireworks. The children have enjoyed creating lovely firework pictures with a range of materials. We have also focussed our learning this week about Remembrance. The children have learnt about why we wear a poppy to remember those who have been killed in conflict. We have enjoyed making a variety of remembrance crafts and learnt about the importance of being respectful when observing remembrance displays.

Last week in school, we celebrated World Mental Health Day by having a 'Hello Yellow' day. The children learnt about what it means to look after their mental health and we discussed lots of ways that the children can do this, such as exercise, socialising and hobbies. We had a fantastic day with lots of arts and craft activities planned. Everyone came to school wearing yellow to show their support for this important day.

The children have had a fantastic week, being in school full time for the first time. They have enjoyed staying at school for their lunch and have also enjoyed the long lunchtime play. We have played lots of playground games and enjoyed having our milk during afternoon play. We have been so impressed with the children’s lining up skills at the end of playtimes. Well done reception, you are all doing so well!

The children have been enjoying their fabulous PE and Music lessons this week. In PE, they have been learning how to control a ball with their feet and in Music, they have all had a go at playing a rhythm with a musical instrument. Lots of fun was had by all!

This week in school we have been looking at artists from different countries to celebrate Arts week. The theme for Arts week this year is ‘Cultural Connections’ and we have focussed our learning on two artists. Esther Mahlangu is an African artist and Giuseppe Arcimboldo is an Italian artist. We have used these two artists as our inspiration and the children have enjoyed practising their cutting skills to produce two fabulous, creative pieces of artwork.

The children have had another fantastic week and are really settling into our learning environment. They have enjoyed exploring our outdoor area and the many arts and crafts activities in our conservatory. The main learning focus this week has been working collaboratively with others, by sharing and taking turns. We have also had a strong focus on fine motor skills and the children have enjoyed lots of fun activities that promote this skill. We can wait for next week, when all of our children come together in the mornings and we will have our parent teacher consultations in the afternoons.

Welcome to Reception!

The children have settled into their time at school beautifully and they are starting to learn the routines of our school. This week, we have focussed on learning our rules and routines. We have also practised our cutting skills and we were really impressed with how well the children grasped this skill.
