 Autumn 1- A Super Start Reception ! 

We have had a brilliant first half term in Reception. The teaching team are so proud of the amazing start reception class have had. The children have adapted to school beautifully, taking on all the learning opportunities they have been offered, whilst demonstrating a developing growth mindset ethos to their learning.

This half term we have been exploring lots of different traditional fairy tale stories, including the ‘The Billy Goats Gruff’, ‘The Gingerbread Man’ and ‘Jack and the Beanstalk’. Through these stories we have experienced making and eating yummy gingerbread men, finding giant footprints with golden coins and planting magic beans!

Reception have embraced our new phonic scheme, showing the adults how to do the super actions. This has had a positive impact on the children’s reading and writing skills and enjoyment.

Reception have been outstanding role models on Thursday mornings with our nursery friends. In our ‘Messy Faces’, sessions our EYFS chefs have made hedgehog bread, delicious porridge for the 3 bears and fruity treat linked to ‘Handa’s Surprise’. During ‘Muddy Faces’, the children have demonstrated teamwork and perseverance, they loved playing VANISH hide and seek, going on a scavenger hunt, building a bridge to help the Billy Goats escape the cheeky troll and den building!

Archie- ‘Something happened in our class! The giant came and he had huge footprints. He left us golden chocolate coins’.

Arabella- ‘I loved baking and eating the yummy gingerbread men. He was cheeky in the story’.
