Mud Kitchen

"Sorry for the mess, but we are learning here!"

The F2 pupils had a wonderful time exploring the mud kitchen. Lots of new skills were acquired, including putting on a pair of very long overalls and tricky wellington boots. The children worked closely with their peers to investigate the different textures and problem solved when they became stuck in the mud!

"The mud will wash off, but the memories will last a lifetime!"

       
               

Autumn Term- Part One           

This term the EYFS pupils have been very busy settling into their new classes and forming new friendships. They have been exploring how to identify, talk about and regulate their own feelings and emotions. They have been exposed to lots of new opportunities to help develop their skills to become independent learners. These skills have enabled them to pursue their own interests and grow in confidence.  They have explored a variety of superhero-themed books and completed lots of ‘super’ type activities, including baking, making ‘super veggies’ and drawing their ‘superhero families’. They have started the challenging journey to read and write and have already obtained 20 new phonemes, which is amazing!   

             

       

             

Parent Workshops – Literacy & Number

We invited parents to share in their child’s learning. Our literacy workshops demonstrated to parents how we teach Little Wandle Phonics and early reading skills through sharing stories. Our number workshop demonstrated how we teach early number concepts such as subitising and number recognition. During each workshop, parents had lots of opportunities to engage in activities that related to each focus with their child. Everyone had a great time and feedback from all the parents was extremely positive.

"Thank you for organising such a great session. I have fully enjoyed it, and it helped me to understand how to teach maths so it doesn't confuse my son. Thank you."    

           

               "I think it was awesome! Just watching the effort you put into teaching the children is awesome. I was smiling all the way through. I was thrilled to be part of the phonics session.       Thank you for all you do."
