Autumn Adventures with the Little Explorers! What a busy and exciting week we've had in Reception learning all about autumn! We kicked things off in literacy by reading the brilliant story "The Leaf Thief", which had us giggling and guessing what might happen next. We even searched for initial sounds in the pictures – our Little Explorers are becoming super sound-spotters! During our Fine Motor Mornings, we practised our threading skills and had a go at cutting – it was a bit tricky, but we didn't give up! On our Welly Walk, we set off on an autumn hunt and spotted so many wonderful signs of the season – crunchy leaves, conkers, and even a few squirrels! We've also been working hard on reading CVC words and showing off our blending skills. Plus, we got super creative with some lovely autumn-themed crafts – full of colour, glue, and imagination! We're so proud of all the learning and exploring our Little Explorers have done this week. #LittleExplorers #AutumnFun #EarlyYearsMagic #LearningThroughPlay #CVCReading #WellyWalks #FineMotorSkills #LeafThief #ThursfieldPrimary #ReceptionAdventures
