Learning Comes Alive in Reception! This week, Reception have been exploring our CUSP book The Invisible, sparking thoughtful discussions about feelings, kindness, and empathy. The children have loved sharing ideas, asking questions, and making meaningful connections to their own experiences Alongside this, our learning has linked beautifully with White Rose Maths – Alive in 5! The children have been exploring numbers to 5 through practical, hands-on activities that bring maths to life. Counting, comparing, and representing numbers has been fun, engaging, and full of excitement! What a fantastic week of learning well done, Reception! #fromearlyyearstoemployment
