News Atwood Primary School

This week in Reception, we have been busy finishing their first topic, ‘Marvellous Me!’.

This week in Nursery, we have been reading and singing the book ‘If You’re Happy and You Know It’ by Anna McQuinn.

It has been a very busy half term and the time has flown since we started back in September. 

In Reception and Nursery, the children have been learning all about autumn and the changing seasons. 

In Reception this week, the children have been learning about the seasons.

On Tuesday afternoon, Year 1 walked to Sanderstead Recreation to discover human and physical features in their local area.

In Reception and Nursery, the children have been busy exploring the environment and learning some sounds as they begin their reading journey.

In Reception this week, we have been reading ‘The Rainbow Fish’ by Marcus Pfister.

In Reception, the children have had so much fun, learning and sharing about themselves. 

We are now well and truly back in to the swing of things at school and the children have been immersing themselves in the new learning in their year groups.

As you are hopefully aware, the deadline for applying for a secondary school for your child to attend in September 2025 is fast approaching. 

It has been lovely to welcome our new Reception and Nursery starters and their families this week as they begin their Atwood journey. 

Welcome back!  I hope you all had a restful summer and feel refreshed and ready for the new academic year. 

It has been a busy week at the end of an extremely busy year. 

What a lovely week we have had in Nursery.  We have been looking at Jake’s first day, which has helped us to understand what will be happening when we start Reception in September.
