We were delighted to welcome our new Year R children to our school this term. The children have settled in brilliantly and have been busy learning our daily routines and expectations. Through play, exploration and carefully planned activities, they have been getting to know their new environment, making new friends and building positive relationships with both staff and their peers.

As part of their learning, the children have been developing their communication and language skills through stories, songs and discussions. In phonics, they have begun learning new sounds and practising early reading and writing skills. In mathematics, they have been exploring counting, recognising numbers and comparing quantities through practical activities and games. The children have also enjoyed investigating the changing seasons, creating artwork, and taking part in lots of hands-on learning both indoors and outdoors.

We are incredibly proud of how confidently our Reception children have embraced school life and look forward to seeing their learning, independence and curiosity continue to grow throughout the year.
