Hello everyone......

 

Year 1

Hello Everyone, 

We have had a week of learning fun together. We have done lots of fun things about Farms and played many great games.

On Monday we made playdough and made these into many shapes including some vegetables . We sang some great farming songs and enjoyed the musical instruments. On Tuesday we did some great mark making with the Tractor wheel and created some great pictures. The children have been very creative and have enjoyed using all the mark making tools. In the afternoon we joined year 2 for some Yoga in the hall and played with some small world toys.

On Wednesday we had great fun making some Tractors from different shapes and deciding which bit fitted where. On Thursday we played some great PE games on the field. The children loved playing with the Tappy sticks and singing while tapping out the rhythms. In the afternoon we played with the clean mud we had made, washing the farm animals.  This week we will be continuing with Farming Fortnight. Friday is dress as a Farmer day, we look forward to seeing your outfits!

We have lots of fun things planned throughout the week.

We are starting to do a family display in the classroom so if you have any further photos you would like to add then please bring them in or you can send them to Zoe’s email and we can print them off to put up. We will use the photos you have provided in your All about Me information. The children enjoy looking at these photos and sharing them with their friends. 

Please can you bring a named drink bottle that your child can leave at Pre-School for the year. We will wash and sterilise these on a regular basis. We promote water drinking as much as possible for the children. Milk is provided at snack times. Please just let Zoe, James or Laura know that they are the one to be kept at Pre-School and we won’t put it back in their bag. This is then one less thing for you to remember on a daily basis. 

Now the weather is starting to change please can you be sure to bring a coat. We love to get outside even if there is a little bit of rain. Wellies are also helpful, we do have some spare pairs. 

Marvellous Me - Tis all up and running now, high 5’s to let us know you have seen the pictures.  

We will put some ‘Wow’s’ in your child’s bag this week. These can be used for any achievements your child has shown at home. We then share these on a daily basis at group times. If you would like more then please just ask for some. Any letters will always be put in your child’s bag. 

Caroline is available every morning to answer any questions you may have on funding, invoices or your children hours/sessions.

Please ensure all money is placed in a clearly marked envelope so it can be passed on to the office. Staff are more than happy to take this for you.

The electric gate opens 5 minutes before each start and end of sessions.

Stay and play morning sessions are now posted next to our door on the window. It would be great to see you. These run once a week on a different morning each week from 8.30am-9.00am. We also have one every half term on a Saturday. This week stay and play is on Thursday morning at 8.30-9.00am. 

Dress as a Farmer day is on Friday 6th October and NOT Monday 25th October for the children.

 

We can’t wait to see everyone and if you have any further questions you can email Zoe on the following email. z.stockley@princeofwales.dorset.sch.uk
