One of our favourite times of the day in class 1 is story time. At choosing time I often find the children hooked in a book in our reading areas both inside and out! It’s wonderful to see…
We love books!

What do stories tell us about being kind?
This week the Kindness Elves delivered us another book titled ‘The Bog Baby’ written by Jeanne Willis. The story captured our hearts immediately and tells the tale about two sisters finding a Bog Baby in a magical pond. We discussed how the children in the story showed kindness and love. The children came up with some great examples. The beautiful illustrations inspired us this week and we all attempted to draw our very own Bog Baby in crew…
We then sculpted a Bog Baby using clay. The children used their fine motor skills and created some beautiful work! We can’t wait to paint them blue once they’ve dried…
Counting Collections
The children have blown me away with their mathematical thinking skills in our very first counting collections session of the year! They worked beautifully in pairs, listening to one another and taking turns. Here we are in action…
How do we show we care?
The children were so happy to discover that the Kindness Elves had returned with yet another gift…
We began to explore the question ‘How do we show we care?’ through the lens of ‘The Hugasaurus’. We created an anchor chart of the kind acts Hugasaurus carried out and thought about what kind actions we do everyday. Here are some photographs of the children showing kindness…
The children enjoyed getting creative and each made their very own Hugasaurus…
Getting Physical!
Class 1 really enjoyed their first P.E session. They really impressed us with their super listening ears. They demonstrated their balancing skills and even took part in some team games.
I think the smiles show just how much fun we had…
EYFS Teddy Bears Picnic
The children have enjoyed a delicious picnic in the sunshine today. Thank you to all the parents for your kind donations. The children had such a lovely time and it was a great way to end the week.
EYFS Community Meeting
We celebrated the end of our second full week in Reception with our Community Meeting in the sunshine. It was lovely to see lots of happy, smiley faces talking about the fun that we have had this week in crew. It was very difficult to choose our stars of the week for working hard, been kind and getting smart as all children have continued to amaze us. Well done Reception.
Meet our Kindness Elves ❤️
We were surprised to find some special visitors in our class this morning. The Kindness Elves left us a special gift…our very own ‘Everywhere Bear’.
The children have loved having snuggles and we all had a chat about what we will do with ‘Everywhere Bear’ when it is our turn to take them home.
We are hoping the kindness elves return soon! ☺️
Our first community meeting…
This week in reception we have been talking to the children about our Habits of Working and Learning, which are, WORK HARD, GET SMART and BE KIND. Today we got to celebrate our stars of the week. We must say a huge well done to all of the children for settling into full time school so seamlessly.
Here are this weeks stars…
What an amazing start!
The children in Class 1 have settled in beautifully this week. They have enjoyed getting to know all the different areas of the classroom…
We’ve loved exploring our new outdoor area…
