We have loved our story of the week 'Owl Babies' and learning our WOW words 'trunk, brave, swooped, hunted'. Can your child tell you what each word means?  The children have been very busy creating their own Owl babies role plays, drawing story maps, making owl puppets and drawings to name a few.  Next Friday is spooky day! During the week, we will enjoy lots of Halloween fun related activities. What will you dress up as on Friday? 

  The Reception and Nursery team have spent some time updating our outdoor area, ensuring the children have defined areas to explore different skills.  We hope to enhance these areas further with new resources. What would your child like in our outdoor area? Please ask your child, and inform Miss McGill, Miss Pardoe or Mrs Birkin of their ideas. Thank you!

 This week we have been working hard learning how to create or copy a pattern using a range of objects inside and outside.  Patterns play a huge role in children's understanding of numbers, recall for counting sequences and understanding number operations! They are very important!  Could you make your own pattern at home using objects? Using pasta, cultery or toys.  Take a look at our fantastic patterns!

  The children have loved being involved with West Yorkshire Poetry Week. This week we have immersed ourselves in different poetry and read a number of different poems every day. This week during our key worker time, we went on an Autumn walk around school, where we found lots of different items. We then sorted these autumnal items, and created our own Autumn Poem. Enjoy Robins 1 recital of our Autumn Poem below! 🍁🍂
