Welcome to Foundation Stage

The children in the Reception Elves and Pixies classes have had an exciting start to the school year, exploring the topic "All About Me." They have painted self-portraits, paying close attention to their hair and eye color, and have compared their own features with their friends. We’ve also enjoyed reading The Colour Monster and The Colour Monster Goes to School, which helped the children explore their feelings and discuss what makes them feel certain emotions.

In maths, the children have been learning about matching pairs and sorting sets of objects, such as buttons by color or size. They've also been focusing on the numbers one and two, sorting objects into singles or pairs. In phonics, we’ve covered the sounds SATPINM, with the children practicing writing on whiteboards daily, leading to great improvement in their fine motor skills.

Additionally, the children have been thinking about their own surroundings and their routes to school, drawing maps of their journeys and making houses to add to the map. We've even created some junk models of the monsters from the stories we've read, which was a huge hit! PE lessons have begun, with the children practicing their movement and throwing skills in the hall.

Our outdoor area has been a particular favorite, with the children thoroughly enjoying the large construction sets, mud kitchen, and bikes, which have all provided hours of fun and learning!
