This unit of work provides the opportunity to explore who we are and to understand and explore that we are now a part of a new community. Children will learn about the rules and routines of their classroom that allow them to all feel safe and secure. Children will explore their new environment both inside and out and those within it. They will develop their understanding of what is in their local environment and be able to describe it. The children will be introduced to the seasons and will look closely at the changes that take place in Autumn.

RECEPTION GRADUATION: The Class of 2023
It was a real pleasure to invite parents in to school join us for the graduation ceremony of our lovely Reception children. This marks the end of their time in Early Years and their readiness to move onto year one where they begin learning within the National Curriculum.
Very well done all of you. We are so very proud of all that you have achieved!

Spring has arrived and we welcomed a very special visitor into Acorn Class. Elis and Eleri's mum brought in a lamb for us to meet. We were able to share all things we already knew about lambs and learn some new things too! Some of the children felt confident to touch the lamb and feel its fleece, some were less sure, but it was a very exciting event for everyone!
We have had a morning of painting. First we painted 'anything we wanted to', exploring how the paint worked and how to use the brushes. Then we painted our favourite dinosaurs. We think they look amazing!
We have been outside exploring our environment, using the Muddy feet resources. We have walked with bare feet, talked about our shadows, and then lay down and gazed at the sky and the clouds. We all felt very relaxed at the end of the session.
