Welcome to Reception
Dear parents/carers,
This week children have been busy with Easter activities, making cards, painting candles, making Easter bags and dying Easter eggs.
We learnt about the Orthodox Easter Story and the Annunciation (the announcement of the good news).
During Maths, we practiced addition using Numicon and number blocks. We introduced the mathematical equation of addition; plus and equals sign.
Have a great weekend,
Early Years
Good afternoon parents & carers,
Early Years Team would like to wish all the mums, a very happy Mother’s Day.
During this week, children have been learning about the five senses and sharing their night routines.
We learn a new concept: Sharing Equally. ‘When we have an even number (2,4,6,8 or 10), we share it by saying “1 for you, 1 for me” and everyone needs to have the same quantity at the end’
During RE, children started learning about Easter, and we have learnt about Lazarus and Jesus.
Have a lovely weekend!!

Hello parents/ carers,
This week’s topic book is ‘Peace at Last’. Children have been exploring houses from the past and present and compared similarities and differences (e.g. in the past people were using buckets of water to wash their clothes were as now people have washing machines).
In maths, we revisit 2D shapes and their properties and introduced more 3D shapes.
We looked around our environment and find many objects with different shapes.
Children learnt about germs and how we need to wash our hand through experiments. We pretend that ground black pepper were the germs and they put soap to keep the germs away.
During RE, we learnt how we show our love to God in his house by lighting a candle in church and saying a prayer: Dear God, I came to light a candle at school today, to show how much I love you, Amen.
Have a lovely weekend,
Early Years Team.
Dear Parents/ Carers,
The children this week have been practising rhyming words e.g. ‘One, two, three, What can you see?’ from our topic book.
In Maths, we have been exploring subtraction using Numicon Shapes and playdough.
During R.E, the children got to fly their own kites for Clean Monday – Greek Orthodox celebration in preparation for Easter.
Have a lovely weekend,
Early Years Team.
Dear Parents,
This week children were introduced to Peepo’s story. Here you will find attached a video of Peepo’s story -> Peepo! – YouTube
During maths, we explored the concept of taking away (subtraction) and children learnt that the numbers become smaller.
We celebrated Shrove Tuesday and children had the opportunity the make their own pancakes following the steps of a recipe.
P.S Please make sure that the children complete the homework independently.
Have a lovely weekend,
Early Years
