Term 1
This term we are focussing our learning around the theme of 'Bears'. The children will be learning new routines and starting to learn to read by learning the first letter sounds in their phonics sessions. Our focus book for this term will be We're going on a bear hunt, before moving on to Goldilocks and the Three Bears.
Week 1 and 2
The children have all settled brilliantly into school life! I am so impressed with how well they are playing together and they are all enjoying joining in with small activities and getting familiar with their new surroundings.
They have shown that they are all budding artists by painting brilliant self portraits. They have used shapes to make some wonderful pictures and they've practised their listening skills by playing a range of listening games and going on a listening walk around school with their listening ears!
They enjoyed their first PE lesson with some help from their Year 6 Buddies. They have all loved having their buddies showing them around school and helping them learn how to do new things in school.
