St John the Baptist Primary School
Autumn 1: Everyone Different, Everyone Loved.
We have had a lovely start to the school year in our new classroom. The children have settled in well and adapted to their new surroundings. This half-term we have enjoyed lots of Theraplay games and focused on sharing and turn-taking. We’ve enjoyed reading many stories and learning through play. Autumn time is always lovely in Nursery because the children love exploring with natural resources and experimenting with autumnal colours. We have also had weekly cooking sessions and made some tasty treats like, pumpkin soup, sandwiches, crispy cakes and decorated biscuits.
During our worship sessions we have focused on Thankfulness and thought about the many things we are thankful for in our own lives.
Autumn 2: Starry Night
Another half-term has flown by and the children have been learning many new and exciting things. This half-term we have started learning phonics and Story Dough. We have enjoyed Squiggle Time every week and the children are working hard on their early writing and pencil grip. Our focus in worship has been Trust and learning about the importance of truthfulness. We ended the half-term with a wonderful trip to Cherry Hill Garden Centre and a Christmas performance for the parents/carers. The children worked exceptionally hard to learn the words to the songs and many parents praised their wonderful performance!
