Please make sure your child has a water bottle and rain jacket each day, and they have a spare set of clothes for their peg. A spare pairs of wellies can be left at school as we spend lots of time outside! Please label all items with the child's name (we have permanent markers if you would like us to do it). We work hard to teach the children to become more independent with putting on shoes and welly boots - please help us with this by encouraging your child to do this at home.
Please make sure you are signed up to Class Dojo for day to day updates about all out exciting activities, and information about your child's progress. If you have any questions or queries you can speak to us at drop off/pick up time or message us on Class Dojo.
Please check the parent's board at the door each day for up to date information.
Term 5:
This term our enquiry is 'What Has Changed?' and is based around the outdoor classroom. We will be learning the stories The very Hungry Caterpillar, The Enormous Turnip and Jack and the Beanstalk.
We will continue to spend lots of time outside so please check weather forecasts and ensure your child has a raincoat and/or is wearing long lasting suncream! A labelled hat can be brought in on sunny days. Lots of water play means a bag of spare clothes is vital this term!
During our small group times, we will be playing lots of games to continue develop our speaking, listening and communication skills, as well as focusing on the numbers 1 - 10 and practising recognising and writing our names. We also begin looking more closely at the sounds in our names, books and the environment. Our preparation for moving to Reception starts this term with regular stories and visits from the Reception teachers.
Look out for information about our upcoming sports day.
