This week we have been completing our statuatary baseline assessments for Reception and continuing our own baselines for all children . This will help us get to know the children really well and be in the best position to plan for learning . The children have enjoyed cutting , threading and making - all great for fine moto skills ! They have been enjoying our new book corner and have drawn pictures of their favourite story characters to display on the well . They have drawn self portraits with Mrs Longstaff for a display in the classroom. Watch this space to see the finished display ! Reception have been learning to recognise and form the letters s , a , t , p , i this week . Try finding some words that start with those sounds as you read stories , go for outings and spend time at home. Enjoy the weekend and don't hesitate to contact us if we can help at all . Nicola
