Home Learning
Autumn 1
This half-term marks the start of an exciting adventure in our reception class as we explore our new topic “Let’s Pretend.”
The children will be settling into their classroom and diving into imaginative role-play where they will be transforming into builders, doctors, teachers, fruit and vegetable farmers, and more! Through carefully chosen stories and rich resources, we will spark their creativity and support confident, purposeful conversations.
We will also be celebrating Diwali, the Festival of Lights on Monday 20 October 2025. The children will have the opportunity to design beautiful rangoli patterns and create clay diva lamps. They will enjoy making their own colourful designs while learning about the festival’s meaning and traditions.
