Such a wonderful morning filming our Reception children for the @educationgovuk RISE Reception webinar series! They were absolute naturals in front of the camera — so engaged, so joyful, and completely unfazed by the filming crew. 🌟
Reception have been sustaining many outdoor projects as part of their Creative Arts week focus on bugs, including bug hunting, bug drawing, beetle juice mixing and story mapping! @JCA__Art
Reception have loved the start of Creative Arts week. We are studying the illustrations of Yuval Zommer, and have enjoyed looking at his art in books as well as starting to study and use ink pens to draw our favourite bugs! @JCA__Art
We’re delighted to be sending exclusive personalised invitations to selected schools tomorrow to join our brand-new Reception Year English Hub offer ✨
We can’t wait to partner with schools & support early literacy through this exciting new opportunity!

Our children love our mud kitchens in Reception and on Year 1. We know they are going to enjoy the additional items added on readiness for Arts week. #MudKitchenPlay
We are all so excited for Creative Arts Week. We love our new Art Studio as we study the sketches of minibeasts through our core & supplementary texts next week. #CreativeArts2026
Our caterpillars are getting very big now in Reception! This week, we are reading the story of "The Woolly Bear Caterpillar" and are learning that caterpillars transform into moths, as well as butterflies! @jcaeyfs
An excellent week in Reception! Our "Circle of Life" theme is completely engaging us and we have also been learning how to count in different ways in Maths. Superstar learning! @jcaeyfs
The Reception children have taken ownership to create a caterpillar Observation Station. "We need to make a sign... do not shake!" They discussed how to keep the caterpillars safe before creating signs to help! @jcaeyfs
The power of early language shines through awe & curiosity. 🐛🦋 Fascinating discoveries like caterpillars, chrysalises and Emperor moth eggs spark rich talk, ambitious vocabulary & deep learning. Every conversation matters. ✨ #EarlyLanguage#Vocabulary#Curiosity#EYFS#Oracy
We are really enjoying exploring the lifecycles of butterflies and moths. Our caterpillars look like they are getting ready to turn into a chrysalis and Mr Exton brought in some eggs and empty Emperor moth chrysalis shells. We are all fascinated!
What a beautiful week in the sunshine in Reception! We have been busy weeding our gardens, building barriers for floods, creating natural art...and much more! And this morning.....a very special surprise arrived! 🐛🐛🐛 @jcaeyfs
Happy 🌍 Earth Day! Reception have been excellent planet protectors and have been learning lots about the different ways we can look after our planet! This morning, some children even spoke in front of our whole-school assembly about how we can help! @jcaeyfs
