Rhyme Time Challenges
Each half term we launch a rhyme time challenge with our children. We will always share this on Tapestry. We practice the rhyme, and previous rhymes, in class. Orally rehearsing and performing poems and rhymes can help children with their oracy skills. Our rhymes are available below.
Practice the rhyme at home and send a video of your child's performance on Tapestry. We'd love to see it.

Our New Environment
The children have settled in beautifully this half term and are thoroughly enjoying being in Reception.
They've been exploring their new classroom and learning lots of new routines. Their behaviour has been excellent.
Well done everyone! What a super first half term!
Incredible Me!
This half term as part of this wonderful topic we read a variety of themed stories including Incredible Me and Super Duper You.
The children have been learning about their bodies, families, being healthy, their emotions and where they live.
The reception children loved looking at google earth and finding their homes and our school.
Me and My world
Reception have loved our Autumn One topic ‘Me and My World’ this half term. We’ve enjoyed listening to many stories and non fiction books and we've learnt lots of new skills in Maths to.
Take a look at our learning journey video to see all our learning.
Well done everyone, what a super start to the year!
