Week beginning 13th October September 2025
Early Years have continued their building projects, using many different materials to construct with. They have decided that the Three Little Pigs should use bricks or metal to build their homes so the wolf doesn’t blow them down!
We have made our own obstacle courses - for us to balance on and for the balls to roll down. We saw some very imaginative designs!
It was also Kindness week – we have created some art work whilst talking about how we can show kindness to each other at home and at school.
Week beginning 6th October September 2025
Early Years have been exploring ‘The Three Little Pigs.’ We have role played the pigs and wolf, building and blowing down houses. We have taken part in some building challenges, first with 3d shapes and then with 2d sticks. We followed the patterns on the cards and then made our own – there were some very creative designs!
We also planted some onions to add to our growing vegetable patch!
Week beginning 29th September 2025
Early Years baked jam tarts ready for our Alice in Wonderland themed Tea Party on Friday. We decorated crowns to be like the Queen of Hearts and made our own sandwiches, using the knives to spread and cut. We sat together to enjoyed the delicious tea party of sandwiches, crisps, cake and jam tarts.
Week beginning 22nd September 2025
Our Piccolo Music teachers were very impressed with our participation this week. We walked through the jungle as different animals and used the instruments to keep the beat to the song. Well done Early Years!
Reception have begun their phonic lessons, learning a letter a day. We’ve looked at what the letter looks like, how it sounds, how to write it using the correct formation, and used it in words.
Early Years have also crafted cupcakes and decorated tea cups to add to our Tea Party role play area.
Week beginning 15th September 2025
Early Years enjoyed their first Piccolo music session of the school year, listening to instructions and joining in the songs with the actions.
We loved watching the Alice in Wonderland performance this week! Early Years sat beautifully, thoroughly engrossed and joined in the fun! We have loved acting out the story too, ‘drinking’ from bottles to make us shrink or grow too big, and enjoying tea parties!
Thank you to the parents who joined us for the Reception Phonic and Reading Workshop, we love inviting you into school to work with us and are all excited to start our phonic journey together.
Week beginning 8th September 2025
Early Years loved their first PE lesson of the school year. Our gymnastics teacher was very impressed with our listening and turn taking skills. We stretched to warm up in different ways and then learned how to do pencil rolls and roly polys on the mats.
We enjoyed exploring the outdoor grass area; playing ball games, throwing and catching, digging, and watering the plants we have grown.
Another busy, fun filled week!
Week beginning 1st September 2025
Welcome to our new friends in Early Years - you have settled in beautifully! We have all enjoyed exploring the areas, both indoor and outdoor this week. Particularly enjoying playing with the sand and water, and in the home corner making dinner for each other.
We have been reading ‘Goldilocks and the Three Bears’, joining in with the repeated phrases and role playing the characters.
We are very much looking forward to this year ahead and all of the learning and fun we will have together!
