We loved dressing up in Reception! Spiderman was a popular choice :-) We talked about what 'Children In Need' was and thought about all the things we should be grateful for such as our lovely school, our homes, our families, the food we eat and all the toys and resources we have. It is important to remember to share our wealth and time.

We have begun having Maths and Literacy carpet sessions as well as Phonics and Dough Disco. During Exploration Time, we enjoy the freedom of being able to choose where we want to explore when we want and are supported and extended by our teachers and LSAs.

Reception are being really grown-up choosing their own dinners and sitting together to eat in the big dining hall. We encourage good manners and the friendly dinner staff have been impressed with how well the children have settled into the dinner time routine.

Here are a few examples of our fantastic homework this term. The school corridors are home to some new characters this week (2nd November - 6th November) as part of our Scarecrow Trail project. All the staff were super impressed with all the entries. They are marvellous and we can see that a lot of effort has gone into each scarecrow. Well done Reception! Which one is your favourite and why? Can you think of some names for our scarecrows?

Reception enjoyed their first Friday session of outdoor learning on the 6th November. We acted out the story of 'Leaf Man', made big art, collected nature things in the garden and went on a minibeast hunt in the sensory garden. The children behaved fantastically and we can't wait to get back outside! Don't forget your wellies and waterproof coat each Friday!!
