Hello and welcome!

It has been so exciting welcoming your children into our school! They are settling in well and we look forward to working with them over the coming year. In addition to the key learning mentioned in the learning web below, we do change the planning and enrich it with extra learning opportunities led by the children.

This will tell you a little about what will be happening this first Autumn term.

Autumn 1 – All About Me and Harvest

During the first few weeks of your child’s adventure in school, they begin to make friendships, learn the routines of the day, and share their interests and ideas with us.

The children have already loved sharing their ‘All About Me’ books with their teachers and friends. Please complete and bring them in as soon as possible if you have not already done so as they mean so much to the children.

We build up our daily routines and our day is very focussed on play and allowing the children to lead their own learning. We teach phonics every day from the start and gradually build up our maths and keyworker sessions over the next few weeks. We also share songs and stories every day!

On a Wednesday morning we have Mrs Andrews to teach us PE and Mrs Rigby to teach us music. On Thursday mornings we have PE and it is our library day. On Friday afternoons we have our Forest Friday sessions outside whatever the weather! This alternates between Penguins one week and Ducklings the next. As we head towards October we will think about harvest time. We will learn about where our food comes from and what the farmers do to grow it. We will make soup and learn some songs to share with you are our Harvest Festival!

Please see our newsletter for more information about our learning each term.
