Hello everyone....

 

Year 1

Hello Everyone, 

We hope you have had a lovely half term break and enjoyed this weekend of sunshine. We look forward to hearing all the childrens stories about what they have been up to when we see them next.

We had a great last week of term and did lots of fun and exciting activities. The best of all was trying out the PE equipment with Mr Treble in the school hall.

This week we will be celebrating Pancake day on Tuesday and then through the week talking about our favourite books ready for World book Day on Thursday. On Friday we are very lucky as we have the planetarium at school so we will be having a visit over there.

Group Times we will be playing small team games.

Please find information below about a useful advice line for parents and carers of 0-5years.

ParentLine is a new confidential text messaging service for parents and carers of 0-5 year olds in Dorset to seek advice via text message from our Health Visiting team about their child’s health. 

Parents and carers can seek advice about a range of issues such as breastfeeding, bottle feeding, weaning, sleep, toileting, minor illness, behaviour, parenting and more.

ParentLine will run 9am - 5pm, Monday to Friday (excluding weekends and bank holidays) with a ParentLine Practitioner responding to messages within one working day. If a text is sent outside these hours the parent/carer will receive an automated message with advice on where to get help if they require it urgently. This new messaging service is being provided in addition to the current Health Visiting service offer.
Text 07312 277162 for confidential advice and support from a member of the Health Visiting team
ParentLine is not an emergency service, for urgent medical attention contact your GP, 111 or 999.

Please remember to ask if you have any questions.

The sign up sheet for parent consultations will be going up soon so please watch out for this.

Hello everyone.....

Hello everyone

Monday-  For a snack we had some yummy french bread. We also made french flags which the children used for their sand castle in the sandpit.

Tuesday-  For a snack we enjoyed croissants which we all loved. We also did some paintings of the Eiffel tower in Paris. The children brought in a few things from home that they found related to France and showed them to everyone.

Wednesday- In the morning we built the Eiffel tower from the building blocks in the classroom and talked about the shape and height of the Eiffel tower. The children did some great teamwork. We challenged ourselves outside and built a bridge to walk across and jump off at the end. The children did brilliantly with this and their confidence grew so much that at the end they could all do it independently!

Thursday- Looked at the Handa's surprise book and all the different types of fruit they had in the story and then did some fruit printing with these. The children knew most of the fruits and enjoyed exploring the new ones.

Friday- We did fruit tasting from the Handa's surprise and did an African drum music session.  

We continue with our travelling to Italy this week and have many fun things to do.

If you have been and have anything you think the children may like to look at during group times please bring it in. We have lots of fun things planned and we are going to have some traditional Italian food so all children can experience this.
