Year 1
Hello Everyone,
The children have had a wonderful start to the term and have settled into classroom life with enthusiasm. They have enjoyed exploring the different areas of the learning environment, particularly the messy play activities, where they engaged with a range of sensory materials and creative opportunities.
Through the week, the children joined the year 2 class for snack time and outdoor activities in the garden/wet play in the year 2 classroom. They have also taken part in group story sessions and singing time, both of which have been firm favourites.
It has been lovely to see the children beginning to learn each other's names and forming new relationships. Many have enjoyed playing together in the role play house, using their imagination and developing important social skills.
We will continue to welcome new families to preschool over the coming weeks. This week we will be continuing talking ‘All about Me’ and have some great activities planned. If you could complete your child’s All about me information pack and return it we have a starting point for our conversations.
If you could bring a spare change of clothes for your child this is always helpful. Please bring 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.
You may find your child is very tired over the next few weeks while they are adjusting to all their new surroundings. This is normal. We do have a quiet down time after lunch.
Healthy Movers
This week we will continue exploring with the scales to music.
Please remember the classroom door opens at 8.55.
Please try to leave all 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.

We are a nut free school, so please can we remind families that the children have no products containing nuts in their lunchbox.
We are more than happy to cut up fruit at lunchtimes so it stays fresh.
Looking forward to seeing everyone this week and having lots of learning fun together.
Zoe
