Autumn 2022

Welcome to the autumn term of Nursery and Reception at Rockcliffe CE Primary School!

The Reception children have made a great start to school in their first three days - exploring the different areas and making new friends. We can't wait for the Nursery children to join us next week.

Week one has gone down a storm - the Reception and Nursery children have settled in well! They are learning about our routines and getting to know each other. Our topic for the start of this half term is 'All About Me' and this week we have been sharing information about ourselves and our families. Have a look at some of our representations below.

They have been enjoying our social times such as lunch and snack and learning to take turns and listen to each other.

Wow - how are we half way through week two already?

I can honestly say that the Recption and Nursery children have been an absolute delight to have in the Early Years unit. They are taking care of their classroom, looking after the resources and are experts at tidying away and following our hand signals. Let us not forget to mention what good friends they have made already. They are kind and helpful and already know that teamwork works!

We are thoroughly enjoying our 'talk through stories' sessions and have become very familiar with our text 'Lionel and The Lion's Share' over the week. Below is our English display showcasing some of our drama, writing and pictures. Here we are acting out key events, showing some of the emotions from the story and developing our vocabulary - can you see how 'furious' we are?
