EYFS Curriculum

Summer has been another wonderfully busy term for Reception. The children have thoroughly enjoyed exploring their topic 'Marvellous Me' through the delightful story of Izzy Gizmo—a tale about a young inventor who demonstrates resilience and perseverance when her creations don't work as planned. This theme perfectly aligns with the values we nurture in our children. The children were particularly engaged when writing encouraging letters to Izzy, urging her not to give up despite her setbacks.

Mathematical Discoveries

In mathematics, we've been exploring patterns in depth, both numerical patterns and visual designs. The children have developed strong skills in identifying the unit of repeat within patterns and can confidently extend these sequences. They've also been working creatively with shapes, demonstrating excellent spatial awareness as they recognise when shapes need to be rotated to fit specific spaces.

Active Adventures

Physical activity has been a highlight this half term. Our sports day preparations have seen the children practising various races with enthusiasm and determination. During our special activities week, we focused on maintaining both physical and mental wellbeing through diverse experiences, including balance bike sessions and parachute games that brought joy and laughter to all involved.

Moving Forward

The children have handled their move-up day with remarkable maturity and confidence, making all the adults who have worked with them throughout the year incredibly proud of their growth and development.
