We have really enjoyed learning all about autumn this week.

We have painted autumn trees, made our own autumn pictures, and found out lots of fun facts.

These are some of the amazing things we said happened in autumn:

“The animals get the nuts and hibernate.” – Jake.

“The leaves fall off the trees because they die.” – Erin.

“It gets colder because the earth is moving away from the sun.” – Emily.

“The leaves change colour.” – Alice J.

Today we ended our first half term at school by having lots of fun playing in the fallen leaves.

This week in our PSHE lessons we have been learning about friendship and talking about what makes a good friend.

“A good friend is kind.”

“They share their toys.”

“They don’t hurt people.”

“Take turns.”

“Play with everyone.”

We listened to the Rainbow Fish story and made friendship bracelets too.

A big well done to all of our amazing children in Reception class for completing their very first Fun Run.

Every single one of them completed 3 laps of our huge playground and crossed the finish line!

A huge thank you to all of our kind families for their generous sponsors too!

We use numbers and mathematical language all day long in Reception class – when we are playing, when sorting out the wellies and even when we’re building imaginary lands with the bricks.

We love to show off how clever we are at ordering and recognising numbers too!

We read a lovely story about pirate school on Thursday which made us all want to become pirates!

We worked as a fantastic team to build a huge pirate ship, eye patches, flags and hats.

We made a treasure island and had so much fun hunting for treasure!

Arrrrrrrrrrrrr!

We had such an exciting time this afternoon searching the skies for the NHS Spitfire.

We used our hands as binoculars to try and see the Spitfire as it flew over our school.

Everyone cheered and waved as it flew over our heads.

It was really noisy and very exciting!

We have had such a lovely first week in school.

We have played and made lots of friends already!

Ms Wetherell and Miss Smith have been absolutely amazed by how kind and well mannered we all are.

They we also super impressed with our independence and how well we can think of things for ourselves.

We are so excited for next week when we are all together for the first time.

What a wonderful first day at school we have all had!

We have all had lots of fun playing in our new classroom and making lots of lovely friends.

Ms Wetherell was so impressed with how sensible we all were and couldn’t believe how good we were at tidying up at the end of the day too!
