Starting Reception
We have had a fantastic time getting to know the children in their first few days at school! The children have settled in brilliantly and have enjoyed exploring their classrooms.
This week the children have been looking closely to create super self portraits.

Welcome to Reception

We are so excited to see your smiling faces tomorrow. Follow the signs to the Fieldfare Entrance and then come on down to the playground gate, where you will be able to drop off your child for the next three days. We will have the bubbles going and hopefully you will be able to spot some familiar faces from the story-time videos. We can’t wait to see you!
Reception starting school
As things currently stand we are expecting to go ahead with the proposed staggered entry for reception children (please see below). Class teachers have been busy getting the classrooms ready this week and are excited to welcome the children from Wednesday 9th September.

Handa’s Surprise
This week, we have read the story of ‘Handa’s Surprise’. We talked about the different types of fruit and animals and explored where we live and the places that we have visited.
Crime Scene!
The children couldn’t believe it this week when they saw a crime scene in the classroom! After lots of investigating and demanding to see the CCTV the children decided that it must have been Goldilocks breaking in. The week has been filled with creating lots of wanted posters, police investigations and designing and making traps to capture Goldilocks.
Chinese New Year in Reception
This week in Reception we have enjoyed learning about Chinese New Year. This year is the year of the rat. We have made lanterns to decorate our classroom and we have each done a piece of writing on an animal of our choice from the ancient story.
Counting in Reception
This week Reception looked at counting. On Friday we used a graph to find out the classes favourite fruit. In Les Papillion Rouge the favourite was strawberry but Les Papillion Bleu chose apple and Les Papillion Vert picked bananas.
