Let all that you do be done in Love

1 Corinthians 16:14

This half term we will be exploring the question What makes Hyde special? 

It will help us to think about the people and the places in our families, school and community that we love, that we think are special and that help us to flourish and thrive as we grow.  It will also encourage us to look carefully at our environment and notice God's wonderful creations and question how we can look after our community and keep it special and unique.

We will also continue our learning journey through play and exploration of the things that fascinate and interest us; helping us to understand more, learn new skills and develop our spirituality through our thinking, our questions and our friendships.

Jesus is our Greatest Friend

We are so proud of how well all the children have settled into Reception.  They are showing friendship, compassion and love to one another every day, and also a great sense of fun and adventure!

We have been thinking about our favourite things. We talked about our favourite items in our classroom and practised our speaking skills by showing our favourite toys from home to our friends and telling them why they are so special. What would you bring?

We love to bake in Reception! We made banana bread with Fairtrade bananas. We were learning about Fairtrade for our Harvest festival service in Church. We followed a recipe and worked as a team. We also learnt how to wait our turn to mix the ingredients together.
