What a fantastic week it has been in Reception! The children have been full of excitement and curiosity, throwing themselves into their learning and showing wonderful creativity and enthusiasm throughout the week.

In Drawing Club, we dived into the much‑loved Bagpuss animation. The children were captivated by the characters and storyline, sparking lots of thoughtful discussion and imaginative ideas. This inspiration flowed into their drawings, where they carefully added details and proudly shared their creations with confidence.

Our maths learning focused on recognising and representing the numbers 6, 7 and 8. The children enjoyed counting objects, matching numerals to quantities and exploring one more and one less. It has been a joy to see them using mathematical language so confidently and developing a stronger understanding of numbers.

As part of our Toys topic, the children became designers and makers as they created their very own peg dolls. They planned their designs, selected materials thoughtfully and showed great focus and perseverance. The finished dolls were all wonderfully unique, and the children were delighted to show off their hard work.

In PSED, we explored economic wellbeing, learning about money and how to keep it safe. The children shared ideas about different ways they can look after their money, developing an early understanding of responsibility and care.

Thank you, as always, for your continued support. We are incredibly proud of the children and can’t wait for another fun‑filled week of learning ahead!

Have a lovely weekend,

Mrs Dyson and Miss Southway
