Welcome to Reception

On this page you will find information about what Fledgling Class are getting up to and see some of their amazing learning.

This term is a wonderful opportunity for us to learn about the children. We will have circle times to talk about families as well as our likes and dislikes. We will also be getting to explore the inside and outside classroom as well as the friends and adults in Fledgling class. 

Things to look forward to this term...

Starting school

Art Week

Harvest Festival 

Week 4

At our school, we firmly believe that every day is an opportunity for discovery and joy! Our little ones are having a splendid time recognising numbers 1 to 5 through engaging games and activities that make learning feel like play. They’ve been busy with mark making, allowing their creativity to flourish as they express their ideas on paper. We also know how important it is to understand emotions, so our PSED lessons are all about exploring feelings and building resilience. And let’s not forget the delightful rain – there's something magical about splashing in puddles and enjoying the great British weather! It’s a whirlwind of fun, laughter, and learning, and we are thrilled to support our children as they grow and develop in their early years. Join us as we make beautiful memories together!

Week 3

This week we have been celebrating Art Week with a range of exciting and engaging activities. Our focus text was the fantastic story ‘Zog and the Flying Doctors’ by Julia Donaldson. This allowed us to explore the theme of Magical Creatures. We discussed the different magical creatures we met in the text. We used a variety of crafting resources and techniques to create dragon art, mermaid self-portraits and dragon models. We also roleplayed being doctors and making ‘medicines’ in the outdoor kitchen!

This week also saw us start our first formal phonics sessions. The children were fantastic and engaged really well. These are the sounds we have learnt this week. Don’t forget to check out the phonics section of our website if you need help supporting your child.

Weeks 1 and 2

 

What a great start we have had to the term! The children have settled well and have had great fun exploring both the inside and outside classroom. They are becoming more familiar with our class routines as well as becoming more confident sharing theirs likes and interests with adults in the room.
