Ralph joined Class One for Monster Phonics today! They were all very responsible, caring and gentle when Ralph visited today. 

Reception have been flying like eagles this half term in their monster phonics sessions. They are learning the alphabet sounds, developing their sounding out and blending skills to help them read simple words, and they are learning how to read tricky and high frequency words!

Everybody was very creative today as we all painted a self portrait! We used the appropriate colours and shapes! We talked about our features and the colours we noticed. We now have some beautiful works of art for display!

In outdoor learning we enjoyed some relaxing calm time listening to the birds, looking up at the trees and feeling the breeze on our face.
