Our Learning in RG
20.05.26
In RG we started Numeracy Day with some "Number Talk", sharing our favourite number bonds with a partner. We spent some time carefully practicing our number formation and learning rhymes to help us. Then we had the chance to practice our addition and subtraction skills to play a count and colour game. Some children worked on their counting skills, adding their chosen number of toppings to a pizza. We finished up with dancing to one our our favourite songs "Ten Again" with the Numberblocks.

We were lucky enough to have Romy’s baby goats visit us yesterday! They were called chocolate and flapjack and we learnt lots about kids. We enjoyed stroking them and seeing how soft their fur is and looking at where their horns were growing. We also learnt the word “hygiene” when learning about washing our hands before and after petting animals. Thank you to Romy & family for the fab life experience. ☺️🐐

Congratulations to Oliver, our Easter garden competition winner! Mrs Skirving said she found the vote so difficult because all of the entries were so fantastic, creative and thoughtful. We have loved getting to hear the children describe their gardens or what they could notice about Easter from other people’s gardens. Thank you to all the parents and children who participated with this as it really enhanced the classroom discussions this term!

A lovely Spring walk! 🐝 we had a fab time spotting birds, butterflies, bees, a nest, listening to bird song, a tractor, horses, dogs, blossom, daffodils and new buds!

World Book Day! 📚 🖍️
This week we have been reading the series of books “The Day the Crayons Quit” so today we started with a scavenger hunt to find all of the missing crayons! We explored lots of different activities from the book including colouring opposite colours and making a crayon fort together. Everyone had fantastic costumes and books to share today! We finished the day with a visit from a very special author. She read her book “Rainbow Smash” and we got a copy of the book for the classroom and she kindly gave us each a sticker. 🤩📚
20.03.26
We have been exploring the life cycle of a butterfly and we are lucky to have some caterpillar friends to help us. We have been so interested in how fast they are growing already and have been making guesses as to how many days we think until they will be in their chrysalis or until they are butterflies! 🦋

RG were absolute superstars on their trip to Hopetown yesterday! They showed off their knowledge of transport, rail safety and how to have fun! 🚂 🌟
28.01.26
A Winter Welly Walk!
Puddle jumping and exploring the deepest puddle we could find! ☔️ 🌧️
25.01.26
Food Tasting
This week in PSED learning, we explored giving our opinion on some new foods. The children all had a go at trying new foods and commenting on what they liked/disliked. The favourite all round was the tortilla bread! 
22.01.26
First PE Session 🌟
This morning we have had our first formal PE session and we LOVED it.
This term we are developing the fundamentals of balance, coordination and agility. We practived balancing while stationary and whilst moving, moving at different speeds and in different directions, finishing with stopping with control. We finished our lesson by developing the skill of holding a one foot balance for three seconds, using our arms to balance us and our eyes to find a focal point.
WELL DONE RG!

Paper Dolls was such a good show!
8.12.25
Today we have learnt about the Christian Christingle service tradition. We learnt that in a Christingle you can see the Earth, Love, Sacrifice, Jesus, Light, God, Seasons/Compass points all represented. We enjoyed making these and talking about how the Christian Society is a charity who raises money which can be especially helpful at this time of year. We remembered all the times we have donated to charity this year. ☺️💛

A Wriggly Nativity - with a superstar cast!

Children in Need Pudsey Day 🐻
14.11.25
Anti-Bulling Week 2025
Our focus for Anti-Bulling Week this year was ‘Power for Good’.
Odd Sock Day provided an opportunity to have fun and spread awareness about how bulling can affect ourselves and others, what to do if we are worried, ways in which we can be kind to our friends, look after our friends and treat each other with respect.
We talked about how we are all unique and how important it is to be kind to others, regardless of those differences.
In RG, we read ‘Simon Sock’ by Sue Hendra and Paul Linnet, which demonstrates the idea of two friends being very different, but how they still share a lovely friendship at the same time. We then got creative with colours, glitter and glue to design our own odd sock friends.
10.11.25
RG had a Music Monsters workshop today, we had such a fun time! The children were introduced to the ideas of loud and quiet sounds, learning the musical words forte and piano. They practised using all their fingers to play notes on the keyboard and explored simple composition using crotchets and crotchet rests, playing music or not playing at the right time, following the conductor. Everyone enjoyed taking turns to play individually before coming together to perform as a whole orchestra. We listened carefully and noticed that the song we were playing was Baby Shark! 🎹🎶 🦈
22.10.25
Autumn Walk 🍁
RG all did so well on our very first outing from school, all of the adults were impressed with how well they did and how sensibly they walked together. We spotted lots of different signs of Autumn including different coloured berries, leaves, pears, mushrooms and conkers. The highlights were listening carefully to the sounds of the birds and trying to catch the leaves as they fell from the biggest tree. 🍂 We got to see a variety of Autumn weather- sun, clouds, wind and a little bit of rain! 🌧️ What a wonderful welly walk!🤩
11.10.25
Autumn fine motor painting & observational drawing 🍂🍁🍏
This week we have been exploring the changes in Autumn and noticing how the leaves change on the trees as it gets colder and the leaves start to die. We counted the different colours we could see and then enjoyed choosing colours to add leaves to Autumn trees with cotton buds and paint.

This week in PSHE, RG have been learning about road safety. We listened to Blue’s story and heard how Blue almost ran into the road because he was excited to see something that was at the other side. Blue’s grandad helped her to understand that we must never run on to a road and that we should always hold an adults hand when we do cross a road.
RG played a game which helped us to discuss and to decide how we can stay safe. We decided that the adult should walk on the side of the pavement that is closest to the road. We also looked at and talked about the best parts of the road to cross over with our adult, e.g. we should ask a lollipop person to help us when possible, or we should use pedestrian crossings to help to keep us safe.
We created a small world area for the children to play with and to role-play crossing the road safely with an adult. The children extended their learning by building their own roads and creating their own crossings. Well done RG, super work on keeping safe! 😀

Star of the week 🌟
Four our first star of the week I just couldn’t pick one star, so our certificate was for everyone! I have been so impressed with how resilient everyone has been with settling in to their new class and routine this week. What has impressed us the most in RG is how kind everyone has been to one another. 😊 Well done everyone! 💛

Hello Everyone!
Just two more sleeps to go until our exciting learning journey in RG is ready to commence…and we are so looking forward to welcoming you all!
The team will welcome the children into school from 8:45am on Wednesday 3rd September. For the first few days you are welcome to come and drop your child off at the classroom door then from the following Monday (8th) staff members will meet your child at the blue gates.
For the first couple of weeks we will be getting to know your child. The best way to do that is to play together, spend time talking and interacting. This will set the foundations that we can continue to build upon and introduce our Literacy and Mathematics learning programmes.
If your child has a medical need please ensure that all of their medication is dropped into the school office on Wednesday morning.
The team will be taking some photographs of our first days together to share with you. We can do this once all permissions are sought - so when I get the go ahead from admin I will share them with you.
I do like to be as paperless as possible, but please do look out for a few letters that will be placed inside your child’s bag this week which detail our curriculum plans, homework, reading book and record.
I hope that everyone is as excited as our Early Years team are.
Enjoy your last day tomorrow and we will see you Wednesday!
With best wishes,
Miss Williamson
