first week!

The children in Reception have had a fantastic start to their first year at Hazelwood Schools. They have really impressed the adults with their behaviour for learning and enthusiasm. The children have spent the week exploring the different areas of the classrooms and playgrounds and learning how to look after the resources in each area. Their favourite activities this week included: building an obstacle course; digging for treasure in the sand; making play-dough cupcakes and going on a bear hunt. The children listened to the story "The Kissing Hand" and recognised how Chester Raccoon felt on his first day of school in the story. They compared this to their own feelings and discussed how making new friends and playing with new toys made them feel less nervous and more excited! Well done, Reception!
