Every day in Reception is different! We follow the Early Years Curriculum when we plan our topics and activities, but most of our learning happens through play and exploration. The Reception children learn how to be a good friend and the importance of following rules to keep them safe and happy. "British Values" are reinforced through our exciting, enriched curriculum.

On Tuesday 26th November it was our Christmas Workshop. We were amazed at how many adults came to help us and everyone had a fantastic time! We made lots of lovely pictures ready for decorating our classrooms later in the week. A huge thank you to everyone for your help!

This week we have enjoyed completing activities around the story 'The Little Red Hen!' We made some delicious white bread and thought about how unkind the animals were.

Larkland's Bakery!

We have been thinking about Autumn this week. We have explored the school grounds looking for different signs of Autumn, as well as doing some amazing homework about the season (take a look in our Cloakroom to see how hard we've been working)! On Tuesday we made some tasty Autumn leaf biscuits and we have listened to lots of different stories about Autumn too.
