Autumn Term
Autumn 1
Our first topic is 'Super duper you, Super duper me' and we are very excited about it. At the moment we are all settling into school life; learning our new routines and rules. We have all created a self-portrait which is on display to help us get to know everyone in our class. We are beginning to explore who is in our family and where we live.
We can all talk about why we are special, what makes us super and the things we like. The children have enjoyed learning about Autumn and the changes that this season brings us. This included baking our very own wholemeal hedgehog rolls - delicious and so much fun!Super Duper You Reception Overview

Spring Term
Spring 1
Our topic this term is 'Dinosaurs and Space'. We have started the term with a wellbeing week and will begin to explore our topic from next week.
We enjoyed the frosty weather at the start of term, the snow settled and was fun to play with! As Historians we found out a lot about dinosaurs, their habitat and how fossils are formed; we made our very own ammonite fossils using salt dough.
We had great fun learning about Space, we can name some of the planets (especially the one we live on) and can talk about Neil Armstrong and the very famous landing on the moon.
As the Chinese New Year festivities began, we started to learn the story of the Zodiac and had great fun using role play to show how all the different animals took part in the Emperor's race. We also tasted some delicious Chinese food as part of our afternoon snack.
