So far this term Reception have loved exploring the composition of numbers up to 5 and how to make groups that are equal. We apply these skills in a range of contexts with different manipulatives to help us master them before we move onto bigger numbers. #LetYourLightShine

Some lovely activities set up in our #EYFS #provision this morning linked to their current story. Children are encouraged to use the new vocabulary they've learnt through explicit teaching in Drawing Club when it comes to their own oral retelling of the story.

To work with some of our incredible support staff from @stchris_trust today was a privilege! Scaffolding learning for SEN pupils is complex, and often it is our TAs who are the ones working most intimately with these individuals. 📚❤️ A successful INSET had by all!

Had a great day @stchris_trust EYFS network today. @Flissej and @melissaEYpren presented how we develop early language skills through the ShREC approach, interactive reading and de- contextualised conversation. Story times will never be the same again!
