Working together to build a zoo!

The children are learning to share their toys and resources with lots of other children.  They are learning how to resolve conflicts when things do not go their way or they have to wait to use a toy.  We are very proud of how well they are doing. 

We have had such a busy first week in Reception.  We have been exploring all the areas in our classrooms and garden. The children have been learning all about our routines, listening to stories and practising some mindfulness techniques.  We have had a brilliant start to Reception and the children…
