At the beginning of the year, our mornings started with a gentle pace to help the children settle into school routines. During this time, the children engaged in continuous provision activities, learning how to play cooperatively and share both resources and the space.

These days, as soon as the children walk through the doors, many of them head straight to the writing area. Whether they are practicing their letter formation, drawing and creating stories, writing numbers or even composting letters to each other, writing has become a central focus in Reception. It's wonderful seeing the children become confident and creative writers.
