Reception writing success!

It is fantastic to see the progress our Reception children are making in their writing. Their confidence and independence continue to grow and many chidlren are now choosing to indepenently write during continuous provision.

The children use their phonics knowledge to write words using phonetically plausible spellings and love recording their ideas. 

We love seeing our chidlren develop a genuinle love of learning!

Reception Children's Visit to the Sea Life London Aquarium

Reception Children's Visit to the Sea Life London Aquarium

As part of our commitment to give children a range of experiences throughout their time at London Fields, our Reception children visited the Sea Life London Aquarium. 

They were excited to travel to central London, taking in the sights from the coach. The trip gave children the opportunity to explore life beneath the seas and oceans, inspiring curiosity about the natural world. Our Reception pupils were a credit to the school throughout the day, showing excellent behaviour and enthusiasm as they explored the exhibits and discovered a variety of marine species. 

The children also enjoyed a picnic lunch and time to play at Jubilee Gardens before returning to school. 

We are grateful to FOLF for contributing towards the cost of the trip and making this experience possible, and to the parents who accompanied us. 

A special thank you to all the school staff who, led by our Headteacher Sharon, helped make this wonderful day possible for the children. 

Reception children meet the chicks!

Reception children meet the chicks!

Reception children were so lucky to receive a visit from the chicks that hatched with the help and supervision of the Year 2 children. 

The children loved listening to the chicks chirping and choosing their favourite ones. The whole class was quiet and sensible to make sure the chicks did not get scared, and they loved watching them play. Everyone thought the chicks were very, very cute and cannot wait to be in Year 2 so they can watch chicks hatch one day too!

Seeing the chicks and talking about their lifecycle perfectly complemented the children's learning this half term - our planet in space and what makes Earth so special. The children have already explored the life cycles of trees and ladybirds, so it was a wonderful experience for them to also see what chickens look like as babies.
