EYFS

The pre-schoolers have been settling into their new environment and getting to know each other, their adults and their classroom. The children have been exploring and learning how to play alongside each other. We are so proud of how the children have settled into life at St Helen’s. Starting in the pre-school is a huge milestone for many of the children who have never been away from their family before. Every child in the pre-school is well settled and happy which is a huge accomplishment for them.

What a busy and exciting first half term it’s been in Nursery! We’ve loved making new friends, meeting new people, and settling into our school community. 

The children have enjoyed exploring the great outdoors, from adventures in Forest School to playing and learning together in our outdoor area. We’ve been challenging ourselves with new activities, sharing stories and developing a real love of reading. Using the iPads has been a big hit too - helping us explore, create, and learn in fun new ways. 

We’re so proud of how much everyone has grown already and can’t wait to see what the next half term brings!

We love reading books and listening to stories, recreating stories and role play. 

We have enjoyed exploring technology in our learning. 

We love being outside and learning at our Forest School lessons and in our playground.
