Autumn term A

🌟A Wonderful Start to Our Learning Journey!🌟

What a fantastic start to the year it’s been in Reception! The children have settled into school life beautifully — full of smiles, curiosity, and enthusiasm for learning. We are so proud of how confident and happy everyone has been as they explore their new classroom, make new friends, and begin their exciting journey through school.

Over the past few weeks, we’ve been diving into lots of fun activities that help us learn through play. From building towers in the construction area to creating imaginative stories in the role play corner, our Reception children have been busy developing important skills like sharing, teamwork, and problem-solving.

In Phonics, we’ve started to explore new sounds and practice forming our letters. The children have spotting sounds in words all around us — it’s wonderful to see how excited they are to become confident readers and writers!

In Maths, we’ve been counting, sorting, and exploring numbers in lots of hands-on ways. Whether it’s counting things in the classroom, making patterns, or building shapes with blocks, the children are already showing fantastic curiosity and understanding.

Most importantly, we’ve been learning that school is a place where we can play, learn, and grow together. Every day is full of laughter, discovery, and new achievements.

Well done, Reception! You’ve made an amazing start, and we can’t wait to see all the wonderful learning adventures ahead.
