Term 1
During our first term, we have been busy settling into life in Reception, exploring our environments and making new friends!  We have been woodland detectives exploring our school forest, going on nature walks and learning lots of interesting facts about woodland animals and their habitats. We have become experts in recognising a range of nocturnal woodland animals that will only come out at night!  As artists we used natural materials in the classroom and outside to recreate some Andy Goldsworthy inspired art! Many of these materials have added to our loose parts resources, supporting our maths learning when representing numbers and subitising.

It has been great fun learning our phonics and we have enjoyed spotting graphemes and common exception words all around our classroom.  It was wonderful to be able to share many of our activities in a Harvest stay and play session, where we invited parents in to share out artwork and join in with our harvest provision!
