Last week, the children exercised their democratic rights, as part of their British Values, to elect the Captains for their houses: Athens, Corinth, Olympia and Sparta. 

Reception had so much fun learning their new phonemes this week!

This week, children across the school have been reading poems for National Poetry Day, thinking about being kind, visiting Crystal Palace Park and enjoying the ongoing sunshine as well as all the usual learning taking place.

Hello from Cypress! It has been a very busy couple of weeks full of trips, school elections and fundraising. 

In Reception, the children have had a great deal of fun sharing information about themselves and their families. 

To support our learning in geography for this term, we visited our local park, South Norwood Lake! 

What a busy and exciting week we’ve had in Reception! Here is a little glimpse into what we’ve been up to: This week, we have been reading the wonderful story ‘So Much’ by Trish Cooke.

This year, the theme for National Poetry Day was ‘wonder’. We launched the day by watching some inspirational videos of young laureates from all over UK sharing their poems inspired by that theme.

What a fantastic start to the term! Our Reception children have had a brilliant couple of weeks settling into school life, making new friends and getting to grips with our daily rules and routines.

We have had a lovely few weeks settling into nursery. A lot of the focus has been on personal, social and emotional development which has helped the children feel comfortable in their new surroundings, start to make friends and become more independent in their self care.

What a fantastic week we had last week in Little Cypress! 

This term, our topic is ‘All About Me’, where we are learning about ourselves and our local area, including important landmarks.

Reception children have continued to settle so quickly and well; we are incredibly proud of them. 

It has been a great week at Atwood with all the children now firmly established in their routines and lots of wonderful learning taking place.

We want to say a warm welcome to all of our new pupils and their families in our Nursery.
