Hello everyone....

 

Year 1

Hello Everyone, 

The children have had a really nice week in  the classroom. 

They have enjoyed identifying different shapes and had a shape hunt around the classroom area this week, particularly the puzzles  and construction activities, where they engaged with a range of different techniques to make changes to their ideas and create great structures together.

Through the week, we have again been joined in the year 2 class for snack time and outdoor activities in the garden play in the year 2 classroom. We really enjoyed playing ‘What’s in the bag’ . We have been exploring the small world play and the children have been  adding a narrative to their play.

The children have enjoyed exploring with the tappy sticks, and following instructions well.The children's confidence is developing each day which is lovely to see. 

This week we will be learning about farming/harvest  and we have lots of fun activities planned. 

We will continue to welcome new families to preschool over the coming weeks. 

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 be continuing exploring our balancing skills playing birds on the branches.

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. 

On  Tuesday 13th October at 3.10pm we have storytime. Everyone is welcome to come and join us. 

Also we Stay and Play on Saturday at 10.00-11.30am. We look forward to seeing you all.
