Reception

Laurel and Sycamore

We have had another magical term of learning in EYFS. Yet again, the children have amazed us with their positive attitudes towards school and we are in awe of the wonderful progress they are making.

We kicked off the term learning about the tradition of Shrove Tuesday and pancake day and finished our learning off with pancake tasting! We voted for our favourite flavour – chocolate chip won easily!

We have enjoyed watching spring arrive around the school and particularly loved seeing the daffodils spring into their full glory. We loved carefully examining the daffodils, painting the flowers, and even did our own pasta collages! It has been a particularly wet term, but we embraced the muddy walks and squelchy forest trips. Sorry for any additional washing this has caused!

Mrs Gingell had kept her giant pumpkin from Halloween in her classroom. We decided to cut it open this term and investigate what was inside. We kept the seeds and later planted a few pots of them. We cannot believe how well our little seedlings are growing and can’t wait to watch them grow other the next two term. 

A big highlight this term has been the special guests in our classroom. We have been nurturing caterpillars and eggs! The caterpillars have changed into chrysalises and we are hoping to return from the holidays to some beautiful butterflies. We are also delighted to announce the safe arrival of our four little Bantam chicks. Hattie Peck is delighted to hear that they are doing so well!   

The year is going so quickly, but we are determined to make the most of every moment of our time in EYFS.
