This week we have been diving into our new topic “Roots, Shoots and Muddy Boots” and the children have been so excited to get started. We went on a lovely nature walk to collect leaves for our leaf printing activity. Along the way, the children had some fantastic discussions about what we might find — from insects and flowers to all the different colours and shapes in nature. 🍃🐞🌼
As part of our topic, we will soon be starting some planting activities. If any parents have spare seeds at home and would like to donate them, we would be very grateful! 🌻
A big thank you to Neil for adding a tyre swing to our garden — the children are absolutely loving it! 😊
We have also begun our RWI (Read Write Inc.) programme with our Reception starters. The children are learning single sounds, using Fred Talk to blend words together, and starting to form their letters. If you’re able to practise these sounds at home, it will really support your child’s learning — thank you for your continued support! 📚✏️
It’s been such a positive start to the term — we can’t wait to see what the rest of our “Roots, Shoots and Muddy Boots” journey brings!
