Winnie's Amazing Pumpkin (and other stories)

This week we are reading Winnie's Amazing Pumpkin by Valerie Thomas and Korky Paul. The children are really enjoying this story.

Some of the children will talk about what they would do with a magic wand. We are exploring the outdoors to find more signs of autumn with scavenger hunts and other activities.

Our magic maths work this week is about counting. We are really working hard to practise our counting skills. Some of us are counting our fingers, others are counting beads and others are counting pegs out of a larger group.

Our Reception children have started their phonics sessions and they are doing really well. We have learned lots of letters so far and we are already reading lots of words! Don't forget our phonics meeting for Reception parents every Friday at 2.55pm.
So far this term we have read The Gruffalo, Percy's Friend the Hedgehog and My Friend Bear.

Welcome Back!

We have had a really good start to this year in Early Years. The children are settling in well.

We have already read "Tiddler" and "My Friend Bear" and this week we are reading "The Gruffalo" by Julia Donaldson. We are spending this week in the outdoors, exploring the environments around our school. If your child has their own waterproofs and wellington boots they would be useful to have in school.
