Hello everyone......

 

Year 1

Hello Everyone, 

We have had a lovely week and have loved exploring Autumn. There is so much to do and see. We have been on some great adventures throughout the week.

We have made some Hedgehogs bread rolls. The children loved mixing and exploring all the ingredients. We also made pizza for a snack which was a huge hit and everyone enjoyed tasting it! We created some paintings using vegetables to print. Some of the children found it hard not to taste them!  

We played some group games and have started to learn about taking turns in a group.

At group times the children have enjoyed dancing to the music man and were very interested in the sounds that all the instruments made. We watched some short clips on the instruments as the children did not know what some of them looked like.

The children have been more expressive in the garden and are starting to access different equipment which is lovely to see.  

This week we will be continuing with  farming and we have lots of fun things planned.  We can’t wait and we all really love this time of year.  

Healthy Movers

We will be continuing with birds in the tree which is a very fun game. I am sure the children will tell you all about it.! 

The skills we will be working on are balancing, landing, balancing, pivoting, twisting, lunging, bending, stretching and turning. 

If you can continue to help your child to put on their own shoes this is a really useful skill to have. Also putting on their own coats. This really helps them to learn this valuable skill. 

Please remember the classroom door opens at 8.55, unless it is a stay and play morning.  Stay and play dates are displayed next to the entrance door. 

Please try to leave all home toys/comfort objects in your child’s bag. 

We can then keep track of what has come out so they don’t get lost.

We will be having a parents information session coming up soon when all the children for this term have joined the class. 

If you have any further questions you can email Zoe on the following email. z.stockley@princeofwales.dorset.sch.uk

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

We break up for half term on Friday 24th October and return back to school on Tuesday 4th November. We wish you all a wonderful half term holiday.

Looking forward to a great week together.

Zoe, Chloe and Lauren

Hello everyone....

 

Year 1

Hello Everyone, 

This week we have been very busy with our learning.

The children have been developing their listening skills and have done some great creative work. 

The children loved the painting artwork with the number stamping with the corresponding dots. The children also enjoyed mixing up the colour and creating their own new one.

We did some great number work and everyone enjoyed the Conker rolling, we had to guess how far we thought each one was going to reach. We then marked this on our mat. We made some adaptations using pipes and guttering. 

The children loved learning some new action songs and loved the ‘Sticky Kids’ activity songs we did during group times. 

For the next two weeks we will be focusing on farming and harvest. We love this topic and have so many fun things planned to do. 

Healthy Movers

This week we will be looking at balance and coordination. We are going to play ‘Birds in the tree’. This is great fun and it’s so good to help develop balance and coordination.

Please continue to bring in  your child's All about me information pack that would be great as it gives us some information to start conversations. 

If you could bring a spare change of clothes for your child this is always helpful. Please can you ensure you have brought a drinking bottle that can be left at preschool for the whole year, clearly named. Please ensure they do not have a straw. These will be put through the dishwasher after every session. We have plenty of wellies as the weather is getting wetter. If you could provide a waterproof coat each day that would be great. We like to get out for small periods of time if the rain is not too heavy!

 The parent consultation session letter will be coming home this week. Please be sure you sign up as Zoe would like to meet and catch up with you about your child’s learning and progress. If you are unable to make the date Zoe is more than happy to arrange another day that suits you. The sign up sheet is on the classroom window. 

Please remember the classroom door opens at 8.55, unless it is a stay and play morning.  Stay and play dates are displayed next to the entrance door. We also have an additional one each half term on a sat morning. 

we have our come and join us for story time. We look forward to seeing you there. On Thursday we have story time at 3.10pm. Look forward to seeing you there.

Also on Saturday morning from 10-11.30am we have our Stay and Play Session. Everyone welcome. 

Please try to leave all home toys/comfort objects in your child’s bag. We can then keep track of what has come out so they don’t get lost.

We will be having a parents information session coming up soon when all the children for this term have joined the class. If you can continue to drop your child off at the classroom door this works very well and builds independence and builds relationships with your child’s key workers.

If you have any further questions you can email Zoe on the following email. z.stockley@princeofwales.dorset.sch.uk
