Wednesday 17th October, the children shall be taking part in our 2nd Wellbeing Day. We will be looking at road safety, what we need to do to stay safe.
Please ensure you check the board outside nursery for daily updates.

RECEPTION
This week we have had a super exciting time learning all about firefighters. We found out that firefighters help in all sorts of disasters- not just fires!
We continued to extend our number knowledge of counting up and matching the correct amounts to numerals.
We have now introduced two new letter sounds- ‘m’ and ‘d’. Maybe you can play a game of how many words can you spot that begin with these sounds?
We thank you for joining us for parents evening and enjoyed sharing the beginning of the children’s school journey with you.
Next week we are very much looking forward to firefighters visiting us on Monday 15th!
Then on Tuesday 16th, we look forward to inviting parents and gaurdians in for our WOW afternoon, starting at 2pm.

This week in maths, we will be revisiting all we have learnt about + and – on number lines and using arrays to x and divide. In English, we are focusing on our handwriting (look out for the sheets that will be sent home) and recognising whether a sentence is a question or a statement. In Geography, we are looking at maps and globes to locate the continents and oceans while our Art is focused on shading. We will be looking at the artist Adonna Khare.
