Welcome back from a great summer break and into another exciting school year!
We would like to extend to you and your child, our warmest welcome into our classroom. We have a wide variety of topics this year, and have a range of experiences planned for the children with lots of fun and laughter.
Autumn Term topic: 'Marvellous Me!'
Spring Term topics:
Summer Term topic:
Throughout our topics, the children will be encouraged to think creatively, applying their previous knowledge and experience, and suggesting areas which they would like to find out more about. It would help the children greatly if you could encourage them by supporting them to research some of these areas. For example, visits to the library, supervised use of the Internet, and watching films and programmes on television together. If you have any relevant resources at home, please feel free to send them in with your child for us to look at. We will welcome visitors into class to enrich the topics and also a few trips off site.
Fruit
We invite children to bring in a healthy fruit snack from home, in a labelled bag/container, so that they can bring any packaging or leftover fruit home.
Children will also need a full water bottle at the start of every day. These will be sent home daily.
Muddy Monday
Children will take part in a whole range of lessons on alternative Mondays in our amazing nature reserve within the school grounds. Please keep an eye on Class Dojo for updates on these sessions. We ask that pupils wear appropriate, comfortable clothing suitable for weather conditions.
If you wish to leave your child's wellies and waterproofs on their peg, please can you make sure they are in a clearly labelled bag. Pupils will also need a waterproof coat, and in the colder months we would advise you to put in some extra layers, and send in a warm hat.
We will aim to be out every session, rain or shine!
PE
PE will be timetabled for every Friday in Nursery.
Children will need to wear a PE kit into school on the relevant day – shorts/tracksuit bottoms/leggings and a t-shirt. Sometimes we will have P.E outside, so it would be advisable for children to wear trainers too.
Labelling
Please can we ask that you label all jumpers, cardigans, clothes and bags as this helps us get all belongings back to the right children. We have a jumper box in class that we use to try and contain stray jumpers and cardigans, but inevitably, as they are only little, things do get left in the hall and on the yard. Labelling saves us a lot of hunting! We also advise that you label lunch box containers and water bottles.
Thank you for your support, and please don’t hesitate to contact us if you want to discuss anything,
Kind regards,
Mrs Davies, Mrs Smith and the Early Years Team
