We have also started to learn about Black History Month. We have looked at various influential Black people like Rosa Parks, Ella Fitzgerald and Alma Thomas.

First, we began looking at colours and colour mixing. We then looked at Alma Thomas’s art work. We tried creating our own collages and paint artwork. We practised using bold colours, gentle brush strokes and vivid patterns.

We also had our first stay and play session where we showed our parents how we do phonics. We then got to play with our grown ups in provision.

Week Ending 18/09/2026

This week we have had our Pre launch and launch lessons. We discussed what we already knew about our new topic, “I wonder what makes me special?” Then we discussed what we wanted to find out. We had lots of ideas that we displayed on our mind map and we will start to explore the answers to these this term.

The children enjoyed having their parents stay with them during lunchtime, We all tucked into a delicious lunch together and we hope lots of the children will now continue to have our school meals provided by our Brillant cooks.

Finally, well done to all the children for completing their first full days, the children coped so well with this and we now look forward to seeing them next week for their full days.
