In Reception, we have been learning about Harvest. We know that it is a special festival celebrated in Autumn as a thank you for the crops that have been grown this year. As part of our work we have discovered who celebrates Harvest and how. We read ‘The Little Red Hen’ book all about a hard-working hen who grows some wheat and turns it into bread. We then made our own delicious bread. Yum! We learnt some Autumn songs and have enjoyed learning about the Autumn season, looking at typical signs such as the leaves changing colour and falling from the trees. Using both Harvest and Autumn as inspiration, we have completed amazing crafts such as our Red Hen handprints and leaf crowns.

We hope you enjoy our video, where we are so proud to show you all the amazing things we have been up to…

Thank you for the donations to our Harvest Festival back in school.

On Monday 11th October we will be holding a special Castle Banquet to celebrate the fantastic work the children have been doing on Castles. So far we have made the castle shields, place cards and decorations. The Party will be instead of Forest School.

Please can your child bring in a  change of clothes to wear to celebrate the Castle Banquet. The children will come to school in their normal clothes and will get changed after their lunch. It can either be a costume they already have at home ( eg A King, Knight, Princess, Queen etc) or some party clothes.

We will make sure we take lots of photos to share with you all.

Many Thanks. The Reception Team.

Thank you to the parents and carers of children in Reception who practised getting changed independently as part of our ‘parents as partners’ task this week.
We noticed a big difference in many children this week and it did help greatly. If you could continue to practise regularly, this would be appreciated.

Please keep an eye out for a parent share on Evidence Me of an observation from forest school this week 😊 

Thank you, The Reception Team.
