Week ending 12.09.2025

It has been wonderful to welcome all our new Early Years parents and children into school this week. On Monday morning, the children arrived bright and early, full of smiles and proudly wearing their new school uniforms. They have settled into their new classrooms brilliantly, quickly getting to know their teachers and teaching assistants. We are so proud of how well the children have adapted to life at Bishop Chavasse. They are already beginning to understand and follow our school expectations, and it has been a joy to see every child eager to try new things.

This week, the children have been practising their fine motor skills by using tweezers to pick up and sort colourful pom-poms. 

In phonics, they have begun learning the sounds m, s, a, and d, showing fantastic enthusiasm and excitement. We have even started “Fred Talk,” where the children practise repeating sounds and blending them together to make words. We are looking forward to introducing new sounds next week.

Our new topic, All About Me, has also begun. The children enjoyed sharing their “All About Me” boxes with their classmates, explaining the special items they brought in and why they are important to them.

During exploring time, the children have loved dressing up, role-playing, building in the construction area, and beginning to play collaboratively with their peers.

It has been a truly wonderful first week, and we are so excited to see how the children continue to grow and flourish in the weeks ahead.
