Hello,
The children have settled back into school well after the Easter holidays. I enjoyed listening to all the exciting news they had to tell!
We started the new term with a change. Instead of the children coming into class and sitting down for the register they now come in and self register and then, with a couple of friends, choose a game from the 'wellbeing box'. The games all involve sharing and taking turns and the children seem to love playing them.
We have started our new topic 'In my little garden' by reading the book 'The Very Hungry Caterpillar'. The children have painted some wonderful fruit for our display. We've been finding 1 more/1 less and adding sets of fruits together. We've been learning the days of the week and talking about what we do on different days.
The children are enjoying playing in our campsite outside. They've been sleeping in tents, cooking sausages on the BBQ and buying goodies from the campsite shop!
Unfortunatly, due to the weather, we didn't manage to get to the garden centre on Friday. Hopefully the weather will brighten up soon and we'll take a walk down to the Woodland Walk garden centre to look at the plants.
Look out for your information sheets this week which will tell you about what we're doing in Reception this term.
Mrs Morris
