Butterfly Class
A very big welcome to the children starting school in September and the Year Ones who are returning to Butterfly Class. We are a mixed Reception and Year One class.
Your class teacher is Mrs Waters and the teaching assistants are Miss Hardiman, Mrs Barlow and Mrs Smith. We are here to help support you settle into school life and teach you lots of new and exciting things!
Our Learning Environment
We have a fantastic learning environment in Butterfly Class. We love exploring our outdoor area and using it to be creative.
We have lots of resources including bricks, pebbles, sand, wooden planks, guttering and milk crates. We have an area where we can dress up and act out stories. We have a sand pit, a digging area and a huge mud kitchen.
Inside we love to build in the construction area and make things in our creative area, paint or draw. We also have a great book corner.
We are currently following Map B.

Term 1
Our theme within EYFS this term is 'Marvellous Me!' We will be getting to know each other, learning the class and school rules and settling into school life. Establishing trusting relationships with the adults and children in our class and building friendships is our priority this term. Here are some pictures of our Reception children in their first week of school. We have very busy!
We are exploring print, collage, sculpture, paint mixing, drawing and textiles in our art sessions this term.
The artist we will learn about this term is Eric Carle.
