Autumn Term 1 (2025 - 2026)

Autumn Term 1, Week 3

WOW! Mrs Daly, Mrs Piper and Mrs Barron are amazed by how incredibly well we have REACHed in our learning this week – being so resilient with our longer days.

On Friday we enjoyed some time at the convent for story time, and loved getting to enjoy a biscuit at the end. We look forward to doing this again next month. 

We have been aspirational with our Maths, confidently subitising (using our fast eyes so we don’t count, but see the amount) groups of 1, 2 and 3, as well matching objects, seeing what is the same, and what is different.

We are being resilient as we learn to blend to read the phonemes s, a, t, p, i, n, m d – and are working hard to write these letters too.

Mrs Daly has told us what superstars we are for our first few weeks and we are most deserving of a relaxing weekend filled with fresh air, cuddles and stories!Thank you to our first Mystery Reader: Mrs Conway – we loved hearing the book Cockatoos.

 

If you have caught Mrs Daly to sign up to be a surprise guest reader on our Mystery Reader schedule, please catch her at the end of the day when she has her sparkly pink clipboard.

Autumn Term 1, Week 2

Another fantastic week with St. Peter’s class shining to be the best they can be.

We have started our ULS Phonics lessons and have blown Mrs Daly and Mrs Piper away with how well we are remembering our sounds - demonstrated our confidence of the sounds to Mrs Howells and Mrs Blanch (CEO of the MAT) when they’ve been in.

We have enjoyed meeting our buddies for the first time and have enjoyed eating lunch with them – something we are looking forward to doing most Fridays together.

We have been busy showcasing our high expectations for Literacy, and have enjoyed spotting a ‘bedraggled’ Mrs Daly around the classroom.  Maybe you will spot the ‘bedraggled’ photo of her in the photos below too! Our current Literacy journey is inspired by the story ‘Cottonwool Colin’.

Autumn Term 1, Week 1

The children have made a wonderful start to their Reception Year – they have arrived ready for learning looking incredibly smart in their uniform, REACHing to be the best they can be - Thank you to the our families for ensuring the children have the correct uniform. 

 

This week we have been touring the school, seeing where things are, and getting to know one another through Faith, Hope and Love.

We are exploring our new environment with confidence and aspiration – showing our teachers what we know, and sharing things about the people we love.

Our mark making has been a display of sparkly resilience and fun, and we have been enjoying painting what we have been up to with our bears this summer for the display.

We are so excited to stay for lunch next week and meet our Year 6 Buddies.
