Spanish Day
Today has been Spanish Day in school. The children in Reception have been finding out where Spain is on Google Earth and on a map. The children have also been learning their colours in Spanish and colouring in a rainbow using the right colours. We have been watching some flamenco dancing and listening to Spanish music and colouring in the Spanish flag. All of the children have had great fun and enjoyed all of the activities.

Getting out into the crisp autumn air with your child and collecting lots of exciting treasures to share and explore with their friends at school - what could be better!

Autumn is a great time of year to head outside and see what things you can find. It is a wonderful season for discovering and a great way to have your child connect to their natural environment and recognise the significant changes that can come about from one season to the next. There are so many beautiful colours and exciting treasures to be found!

So find somewhere outdoors you can explore, it doesn't have to be a big nature reserve, although it can be if you want, a small part area, green space or even your garden can be great too.

At school children will be encouraged to share what they have found with their friends, opening up dialogue about their adventures and learning new vocab. We plan to build a huge collection of Autumnal loose parts that we can use for all kinds of exciting activities. And don't forget, you can post photos of your adventures on Early Essence.

We look forward to seeing the children's Autumn treasures on Monday 8th October

Safety Day
Safety Day
On Friday 21st September we held our Safety day throughout school. The children in Early Years focused their Safety Day on using equipment in the classroom safely. The children were shown a selection of objects such as glue sticks, scissors, pencils, felt tip pens, knife, forks and hole punches. We went around the circle and spoke about the hazards of each object and how to use it safely. We also discussed how to keep safe on the playground at play times and dinner times.

The children in Early Years have been trying really hard to write their names independently. We have set up lots of activities to promote name writing with the children. Please encourage your children to practice writing their names at home.
