The Reception children have settled into their new classes really well. They have had lots of fun exploring the indoor and outdoor learning environments. They have especially enjoyed playing in the mud kitchen and making food from their experience. They have also loved the stage area, the sand tray and playing on the climbing frame. This is helping to develop their balance, coordination and gross motor skills.
The children have loved taking on the role of a shop assistant or a customer in the Marland Hill Supermarket. They have also enjoyed taking on different family roles in the home corner. Our first topic ‘All About Me’ has been wonderful for helping the staff to get to know the children. The children have enjoyed talking about their likes and dislikes and sharing pictures of their families with their teachers and friends.
The deadline to apply for high school is Friday 31st October 2025. You will need to apply online:
