Welcome to Term 1
 

This term we will be giving opportunities for the children to settle into their new learning environments, form new friendships and begin to follow our school rules and routines.

Reception will be introduced to a range of stories this term including The Colour Monster and We’re going on a bear hunt. We will visit some traditional tales such as Goldilocks and the three bears and The Little Red Hen. From these stories, there will be provision set up each week for the children to engage with and develop their communication and language. The provision will support children’s abilities within literacy, maths, understanding the world, physical development, personal social emotional development and expressive arts and design.

Our story of the week has been 'We're going on a bear hunt'.
The children have loved joining in with the repeated phrases in the story and re-telling the story using different actions. The children have been able to continue to explore the story throughout the school day within the provision. Some children enjoyed creating pictures of the bear in our outdoor creative area and making bear collages inside.
