Hello Everyone......

 

Year 1

Hello Everyone, 

We hope that you have had a lovely half term break and enjoyed some time with your families.

We are very much looking forward to hearing what you have all been up to.

This week we will be doing a recall of what the children can remember and making some art work about this. We will be recalling our colours and numbers to see how the children's skills are developing. 

We will also be welcoming some new friends into the class so we are looking forward to helping them settle into the class.

If your child leaves at 1PM after lunch we will leave from the little classroom where we are at the afternoon collection. This is to provide a smooth and consistent routine for the children who are transitioning all day. 

Charlie Bear will be continuing to make his adventures home with the children this week. We look forward to reading about what he has been up to over his time with you. If it’s easier you can email any photos to Zoe on the email address below.

Home Learning

• Can you help in the kitchen? 

• Can you put on your own shoes?The children are making great progress with this skill. 

We will be starting to send out some challenges for you to help your child to complete at home. Feedback can be sent back using a ‘WOW’ The Challenges will help your child to develop to the next level in their learning and skills.

Zoe will let you know if you need to arrange a meeting if you were unable to attend parents evening. We will plan these in the next couple of weeks.

If your child does not yet have a drink bottle to leave at Preschool please can you send one in with them this week. We will need these as the weather starts to get warmer. If you have not yet returned your sunscreen permission slip, this would also be very helpful. 

The bottles are sterilised each week and we will let you know if they need replacing for any reason. 

Please try to leave all home toys at home or in your child’s bag as we struggle to find them if they get lost! 

Toilet training - our aim is to have all children in pants before they move to year 2 Preschool after the summer break. We will mirror whatever you are modelling at home. It is best to make a start at home when you have plenty of time and don’t have to be rushing around. 

If you have any further questions you can email Zoe on the following email.

We are a NUT FREE SCHOOL, so please can we remind our families that the children have no products containing nuts in their lunchbox.

Looking forward to a great week of fun learning together.

We can’t wait to see you all,

Zoe, Chloe,Lauren and James
