This half term in PE we will be learning how to move with confidence and skill around, under, over and through balancing and climbing equipment. Here is a video to show you the kind of things we will be doing in PE. We will also be practising our catching and throwing skills.

Thank you to all the parents who were able to attend the virtual phonics session on the 21st. Attached is a recording of the session. It is a whistle stop tour!

Little Red Riding Hood Home Learning
The Reception children have continued to be very busy with their home learning. This week their learning has been focused around the story of Little Red Riding Hood. The children have also used this opportunity to learn about healthy and unhealthy food. They have then used this knowledge to carefully choose items to put in a basket for Grandma. It is great to see the children enjoying their learning and being so proud of their achievements.
