Summer Term is here!

Ladybirds have already been working very hard after returning after their Easter break. The milder weather has meant more learning has been taking place outside with some UW making habitats for animals and insects and some great fun making bird feeders by carefully threading Cheerios and hanging these in the trees near to the classroom. The children have also looked for 3D shapes in the environment in Mathematics finding examples both indoors and outdoors too. They have embraced Forest School sessions again this term where they are now showing increased strength, independence and awareness of the natural world around them. 

The PTA funded new climbing and large scale construction equipment has been used more recently and the children have been able to enjoy the ride on toys too. 

The children have also enjoyed learning the story of The Snail and the Whale and will be writing using their own ideas over the next few weeks. 

All children took a keen interest in the recent Space exploration to the moon and have had fun playing with small world toys to consolidate their understanding of this important current event. 

Ladybirds New!

We have had a wonderful term of learning and a particularly great month at school this term. Our first Nativity was a lot of fun and we think you all will agree that we performed our song beautifully. Above is a little snap shot of some of our amazing Christmas work. 

From all the EYFS staff thank you for your support this term and your lovely cards and thoughtful gifts. 

Happy Christmas and a Healthy Peaceful New Year

Ladybird Class News!

This term the children have been very busy making new friends at school and learning to play and learn as part of a class. They have made a great start to learning in all areas of the curriculum including understanding the world where they have been learning about Autumn, Diwali, Black History Month, Remembrance Day and Bonfire Night. The children have taken part in a road safety workshop and experienced their first Children in Need Day while at school too! Our classroom walls and the children's books are filled with the children's beautiful paintings, collages and writing. The children have embraced all their learning and are also working very hard to learn to read too. In Mathematics the children spent time spotting and talking about shapes in the school environment and developing their understanding of the language of position.

                                    Welcome to your first Year at school
