At our school, the outdoors isn’t just a place to play—it’s a space where some of the most meaningful learning happens. Whether it’s bright sunshine, a light drizzle, or a brisk breeze in the air, you’ll find our children outside, exploring, investigating, and connecting with the world around them.
We had a lovely community meeting this morning where we celebrated our first HoWL stars in Reception. It was a very difficult decision as all children have made a wonderful start to their time in Class 1 and 2 and we are very proud of them all. Here are the first children to receive a postcard:
We celebrated our first few weeks in school and the end of our hook week with a lovely breakfast of fruit, toast, croissants and juice. Well done everyone.
The children in reception have transitioned into full time school seamlessly. Our first two weeks have been focused on settling and getting to know the children. Our number one rule in reception is to be kind, so we thought it was apt that we are the Care Bear Crews!
We have been reading ‘Kind’ by Axel Scheffler, which has been a great book that is filled with positivity and hope. It has a strong message that we can all make the world a better, kinder place. With that being said we have introduced our class kindness jars. Each time we capture an act of kindness we get to put a pom pom in our jar. The love and kindness is spreading in reception and our jars are getting full very quickly! Once we reach the top we will be having a special treat!
In our crew sessions, we have been passing smiles, giving compliments, sharing hugs and high fives…
We have loved spending time together and we know we will have the best year with your wonderful children! Here we are in action making friends, sharing and learning together…
In our final community meeting all the children in class 1 and 2 were announced as our stars! We have had the most incredible year watching them grow and flourish. We know they will continue to shine bright in year one! Well done to each and everyone one of you, you should all be very proud of your achievements this year!
Our postcard winners this week…Some amazing examples of being kind, working hard and getting smart.
Well done to everybody – you are all amazing.
Well done to all of our postcard winners today…..we had lots to share and celebrate!! We heard some lovely examples of children leading their own learning, being creative, doing teamwork and persevering with tasks. Another fabulous week in our Nursery and Reception classes.
This afternoon the children in Reception enjoyed a beautiful walk in the sunshine. We explored our school grounds and found an amazing collection of natural objects. We also spent time sat on the logs, relaxing and listening to the sounds of nature we could hear all around us.
When we came back inside the classroom we investigated and described our collection of natural objects. We then produced some beautiful work to represent what we saw and heard on our walk. We feel very lucky to have such beautiful surroundings.
Here are our HoWLs stars of the week from Nursery and Reception. It was so lovely to hear how hard the youngest children in our school are working. We heard about some amazing acts of kindness and great examples of hard work and teamwork. Well done to all of our postcard winners today.
Wow……Nursery and Reception had so many postcard winners in our community meeting this week. Lots of kindness being shown by the youngest children in our school and some great examples of working hard and getting smart. Keep up the super work everyone.
We had a super start to our day celebrating with our Be Kind, Work Hard and Get Smart stars from Nursery and Reception this week.
