Hello Everyone,
We had a great week learning all about the Beach. The main thing the children enjoyed the most was talking about the sea creatures. Bugs have been the main thing that has caught the imagination of the children this term.
This week we are planning to have an extra fun week and do all the activities that the children have enjoyed the most while we have been together.
On Wednesday we are having a water play day at preschool. Please could children bring 2 sets of spare clothes, a towel and some shoes which can get wet.
On Thursday afternoon we have are going to the main school hall for a Disco. Children who are in the afternoon are very welcome to wear their disco outfit to school for the occasion.
If you have any questions please come and talk to one of the pre-school staff.
We can’t quite believe our time in year 1 is coming to an end. The children are looking forward to all the adventures that they will have in year 2 with Julia, Sharon, Karen, Colleen and Helen. In the afternoons in September Zoe and Chloe will also be year 2 pre-school.

This week we will continue to have news time in the group and we can only share our news with the group when we are holding Jenny. This gives the children a good sense of turn taking and waiting to develop these skills.
The children are really starting to show good interest in each other which is lovely to observe in the group.
Letters and sounds
We will play with the musical instruments to see if the children can follow simple instructions.The children are loving these games and it really gets them thinking about the sounds they know.
Notices
If you have any questions then please just ask. The weather is looking great so sunscreen before arrival really helps us out. Just look for the laminated list and tick off your child’s name. Obviously if you are running late we can help you with this.
Zoe has a few parents left to meet to complete the EYFS development checks. Zoe will arrange these with you directly.
Please always email me if you need anything or further information.

Look forward to seeing everyone this week.
See you all soon

Hello Everyone,
We had a great week and the children loved looking and thinking about different forms of transport. They enjoyed making hot air balloons for the bears, playing with the cars in the foam. We talked about our favourite form of transport and talked about how to stay safe when we are out and about. We also discussed which form of transport would go the quickest.
This week we will be moving to the theme of ‘The Beach’ . We have lots of fun things planned and will be talking about water safety and how to stay safe when we are at the Beach.

Hello Everyone,
We had a great week and the children loved trying out some new sports games.
Throughout the week we made some frisbees, played table top bowles, tried out balloon tennis, Hockey and racing games. The sponsored bike ride was really great and we have some certificates to give out this week.
Thank you to everyone who came to dance day. It was lovely to see you all supporting us. It was the first time the year 1 class had been with so many people and we were really proud of how they performed.
This week we will be looking at Transport and we have lots of fun things planned so we hope that everyone enjoys it.
We can’t believe we have 3 weeks left before the summer break!

This week we will continue with the round the room game. This is where you give a set of clues of what someone in the room is wearing and the other children have to try and guess who it is.
The children always love this game and soon catch on to not looking at the person directly to see what they are wearing!
Letters and sounds
We will play what’s in the box? The children are loving these games and it really gets them thinking about the sounds they know..

We are so proud of the progress all the children have made throughout the year and we hope you enjoyed reading your child's report which highlights their achievements and successes. We would appreciate it if you could fill in and return your ‘ANNUAL REPORT 2020/2021 - FEEDBACK FORM’ ASAP. Please be assured that the Senior Leadership Team read every response in full and use the responses to inform future practice.
