Reception
Reception children had their very first Forest School trip!
The children had their very first Forest School session this week, exploring the site with excitement and curiosity. The swing proved very popular, as did digging and searching for fossils. The mud kitchen was a huge hit and the climbing tree was constantly in use.
We ended the session with hot chocolate, a biscuit and a cheerful song to thank your volunteers.
How Many Green Bottles? Reception children explore early Maths.
Crash! That's what happened in Reception when two children decided to see what would happen if they knocked down their bottle tower!
They carefully built it first: three bottles at the bottom, then more on top to make a pyramid shape. Once it was standing tall, they gave it a gentle push and down it went!
Through their play, the children explored counting, shape and balance, using their early Maths thinking and showing lots of curiosity and teamwork along the way.
Our very own restaurant in Reception!
We’re excited to share that a brand new restaurant is opening right here in Reception!
Working in small groups, the chefs teamed up with their customers to design the best menus. Everyone’s preferences were considered, ideas were shared, and even taste tests were carried out.
Behind all the fun, the children were also developing important skills, including early writing and mark-making, sharing ideas, listening to others, turn-taking, and collaboration.
What a fantastic opportunity for learning, creativity, and discovery in Reception!
