Beechwood Primary School

Autumn 2

This term Bluebell class have continued to work hard and have taken part in a range of different exciting activities around the classroom. We started the term with learning about how and why people celebrate important days such as Remembrance Day, Bonfire night and Diwali.

In Literacy, we focussed on traditional fairy tales. Following on from this the children followed instructions to create some yummy porridge, built houses for the three little pigs using straw, sticks and bricks and acted out the story ‘The Three Billy Goats Gruff’ using props. 

As we come the end of the term, we have been learning the Christmas story and went to our first assembly to watch Reception classes Nativity performance.

Autumn 1

The children have settled well into Nursery. Our initial priority has been to transition children in, sharing expectations and establishing routines. We started the term with the topic “Ourselves” and shared about our families, differences and discussed feelings. We are now learning about the seasons with our focus being ‘autumn’. Nursery class took part in an autumn walk around the school and autumn leave sun catchers. 

Children also visited the school library and are learning to sign ‘good morning, goodbye, please and thank you’ using Makaton.
