Children In Need

Everyone looked fantastic this Children in Need! 🌟 We spoke about how our money will be sent to help children who might not be as lucky as us. During the day we enjoyed a Pudsey story, some messy puddle painting fun and a spotty skittle experiment! A great day raising money for Children in Need! 💛🧸

Remembrance Day

On Remembrance Day, each of us made a poppy to wear to our special assembly. We spoke about how we wear a poppy to show respect, and to remember the brave soldiers who fought in the war. Each child wore their poppy proudly 🌟 

Across the week we continued to create poppies in a number of ways, concluding with some collaborative art… a huge poppy field! Each of us added a poppy (or a few!!) in any way we chose… using pens, paint or crafting resources! Our poppy field looked beautiful!

We See A Fire Engine!

We were SO excited to have a visit from the firefighters who brought their fire engine to school to show us! They showed us what they keep inside their fire engine, the uniform they wear to keep themselves safe and then unravelled their hose to let us have a go at squirting the water!

Bonfire Night

We have been learning about bonfire night! We have learnt that lots of people let off fireworks on this night to celebrate the 5th November, so have enjoyed covering the playground in fireworks of our own! We ended the week creating our own rockets and making our own edible sparklers!” 

Our Art Exhibition

Reception Class were very proud to host their very own ‘Art Exhibition’ to show off their amazing self-portraits! We LOVED inviting our grown-ups in to admire our work!

Footprint Friday

We were SO excited to head outdoors on our first ‘Footprint Friday’ of the year! We have loved exploring our woodland area; climbing trees, searching for mini-beasts using the bug magnifiers and building our own dens and campfires! We enjoyed our snack together sat on the tree stumps and listened so well to our new rules! We spoke about how to look after living things, how to carry sticks safely and how to spot nettles. We had so much fun outdoors together and are already looking forward to all the weekly outdoor adventures we’ve got to come!”

Our First Few Weeks!

Our youngest learners in Reception have had such a busy first few weeks at Belmont! We have loved exploring both indoor and outdoor environments with our new friends and making lots of lovely memories. We have enjoyed having tea parties in our home corner, getting creative in our ‘Art Studio’, searching for treasure in our indoor sand pit and baking cakes in the ‘Dough Kitchen’. Outdoors we have loved building dens, constructing vehicles using the crates and tyres and mixing Autumn potions in the water! As a class, we have already enjoyed lots of stories, dancing, dough disco and creating some large-scale artwork by mixing the coloured paints. I am so proud of how well everyone has settled in; it is lovely to see so many smiling faces already! 😊
