Welcome back to Reception!

It has been lovely to welcome the children back after the Easter holidays. We hope you all had a restful and enjoyable break.

This half term, our new topic is “Into the Woods”, and the children have already made a fantastic start. We began with a short nature walk, where the children explored their surroundings and collected a variety of natural objects. Back in the classroom, we used these to talk about what we found and practised sorting them in different ways.

In Personal, Social and Emotional Development, we have started our new topic on Relationships. This week, we have been thinking about our families and how we can help at home. The children have enjoyed sharing the different jobs they do, such as tidying their toys, helping set the table, or feeding pets.

It would be lovely for you to continue this conversation at home by talking about the ways your child helps your family. Perhaps they could even take on a new little job!

We are looking forward to another exciting half term of learning.
