We All Belong Here
During their first PE lessons, Chestnut Class learnt to find a space, move in different ways and control their bodies.
Chestnut class were really good at spotting the number 1 when they went on a number hunt around school.
Chestnut Class enjoyed picking a book to take home on their visit to the school library.
The children in Reception have settled in really well and have made a wonderful start to their learning journey.  Here are some photos of the children’s first few days and weeks at Birchwood. They have been exploring all the areas of learning within the Early Years Foundation Stage and teachers have been getting to know their unique characteristics of learning. What a lot of fun they have all had trying new things and making new friends and memories.
This week Reception classes have been learning about the 'People Who Help Us' within our community. We have had many visitors  who helped us to understand their roles and how they help us. On Monday we met a Police officer who explained how her role is more than just catching bad guys, its protecting the peace. Tuesday we met a Nurse who explained how she works as part of a huge team to help keep us healthy and fit. Thursday we met a Naval officer who explained how he helps keep our country safe by protecting our seas from threats and pirates. Then we met the local Fire department who allowed us to explore their vehicle and see how we can stay safe from fire. Here are some of the photos of our wonderful week!
