Violet Class / Nursery and Reception
Welcome to Violet Class 2025-2026
We are learning the whole school 'Rainbow Pledges' and finding out how they can help us to learn and manage our behaviour... We are striving to be the best we can be!
Amazing Me! Amazing You!
We are learning about ourselves and how we are all special and unique. We have talks about our 'names' and how they are special to us and those around us. Our names help to make us who we are. We shared what we want to doo when we grow up. See our display below..
Our parents helped to make a display of our goals and wishes for the year. We will revist this at the end of the year and celebrate everything that we have achieved!
We shared and discussed the story ‘Owl Babies’ and talked about who was in our families. We made family trees and our own Owl Babies using different materials.
We are learning about our bodies, what we use different parts of our bodies for and exploring different ways of moving/using them. We made Gingerbread Men, weighing mixing, rolling, cutting, cooking and eating!
We ended our first half term in church celebrating Harvest, we joined the whole school and our families at the harvest festival.
Wonder
The children are learning about Guy Fawkes and Bonfire Night. They listened to the story of Guy Fawkes and the Gun Powder Plot. The children shared their experiences of fireworks and we worked together to think of interesting descriptive words to describe the colours, sounds, shapes and patterns of fireworks exploding. The children used oil pastels to create patterns and marks to depict fireworks along with glitter (lots of it) to make their creations sparkle and shine. They also made zooming rockets!
They then learnt all about the Hindu Festival of lights 'Diwali'. The children listened to the story Rama and Sita and found out lots of facts and information about how Diwali is celebrated.
They have been learning about the Season Autumn using their senses to look, listen, smell and touch everything that is Autumn. They talked about leaves changing colour, falling off trees, finding conkers, fir cones and acorns.
At the end of term they were busy practicing our Christmas Nativity. The children performed several performances to the rest of the school, Pre-school and families. Their favourite thing was singing and dancing to the songs.
To celebrate the end of term we had a Christmas party, we wore our Christmas jumpers and enjoyed some delicious Christmas Lunch cooked by the chef and listened to Christmas songs.
We went to the theatre and loved watching the performers play their instruments and shout "it's behind you!"

We have started to talk about the season Winter. We have been observing how the outside environment has changed, what the weather is like and what sort of clothes and materials we are wearing to keep warm.
