Autumn Term 2021

We are really looking forward to welcoming our new reception children this week. We have been very busy over the summer creating an exciting learning environment for the children to explore.

Our topic this term is "All About Me" and we are excited to learn all about the children and their skills and interests. Find out more about what we have planned in this terms curriculum overview below.

Our P.E. day is Tuesday, please ensure your child comes into school already in their P.E. kits.

Learning conversations

Each day we write a little comment on what we have been learning so you can carry on the conversation with your child at home. Learning conversations are shared via the Seesaw learning platform at the beginning of each week. See an example below.
