Our Learning

Settling In

September 2025

Horse Chestnut Class have had a fantastic start to the year! We have been seeing lots of friendships form and have settled well into our classroom routine. Lots of fun and productive learning has already been happening in Horse Chestnut as you can see we have been very busy!

In English we have been focusing on the story – Cinderella. The children have enjoyed dressing up and role playing with different items, we have been making short sentences using colourful semantics, we have started to sequence the story using visuals and we have been mark making in glitter trays with a “magic wand.”

In Maths we have been learning to recognise and name 3D shapes and we have been building towers with different 3D blocks. We have also been looking at making different patterns using different items and we have been matching identical items too - such as socks!

In PE we have enjoyed exploring different obstacle courses that includes different PE equipment such as balancing beams, stepping stones, stairs, agility tables and benches. We have observed all children becoming more confident when moving around the obstacle course and attempting to jump and land safely with adult support.
