The children listened to the story of Splat the Cat and his first day at school. They did really good listening to create these wonderful painting which are already up on the school walls.

The children have snack all together in the classroom and the younger pupils have been great at learning the new routines.

The P2’s and p3’s have been amazing at helping them.

At the beginning of the day the children have freeflow play between the classroom and the shared area for the first half hour where they make choices for what to play with. Each area is carefully resourced to enable the development of different skills eg. co-operation, problem solving, numeracy, literacy etc.

This time is a super opportunity for children to share their news and to observe them in their play. It also provides time to focus on particular children and support them in different ways eg. phonics blending, emotional check in and social skills development.

I shall continue to add more photos to this post.

What a bright and colourful class in school today. They learned a little bit about what Comic Relief is all about and loved watching th p6/7 class and staff getting soaked in the stocks.
