Hello everyone,

My name is Miss Coates and I am your class teacher in Reception.

The children have had a great Spring Term and we are all ready to start the Summer Term. The children will be continuing to learn within the provision, within guided groups and independently. This term we will be learning different texts including Handa's Surprise, The Queen's Knickers and The Very Hungry Caterpillar. The children will have many opportunities to access different activities surrounding the topic, for example our role play area is currently a fruit and vegetable shop with real fruit.

Spring Term Learning Summary

During the Spring Term, we went on our first school trip to Church Farm with Class 1. We had the opportunity to feed lambs, feed pigs during a tractor ride, as well as observing and learning about new life. 

As well as this, we experienced looking after chicks. We watched them hatch from eggs and took care of them by feeding them and making sure they had clean bedding.
