Autumn Term message from Mrs Mason: 

 The Early Years team would like to warmly welcome all the children and their family into school. This half term we will be helping the children settle in to school life and manage routines. We will be supporting children make new friends, work in a team and share.  Our topics cover a variety of learning including all about themselves, family, people who work in the community and at our school.  We will have visitors from our emergency services, a dentist and new babies.  After the first few weeks we will begin our wellington walks on a Friday and explore seasonal change and talk about the wonder of Autumn.  We will be baking bread and taking part in Harvest celebrations.  We are really looking forward to the year ahead and to having a fun filled half term as a Reception Class. Thank you for all your support in advance, Mrs Corinne Mason

Whatever the weather!

Posted: Feb 28, 2025 by: Reception Teacher (C.Mason) on: Reception Blog

The children in Reception class have been learning all about the season of spring and the weather.  We have been making a weather diary all week.  On Wednesday we made ice sculptures by freezing water with natural materials we had collected on our wellington walk.  On Thursday we hung them up and watch what happened in the warm sunshine.
