 Messages.

We were very lucky this week to have our new mud kitchen installed we will have great fun exploring this.

Please continue to help your child to hang their own coat and place their name under the correct key worker.  We will be focusing on the children independently putting on their own coats, please help your child to practise this at home.

We have begun to work in our key worker groups for short sessions.  Some of the children are super stars at knowing which key worker group they are in.  There are a few children that need support.  It would be helpful if you could chat to your child about their group name (Sun, Star or Moon) at home.

Also, a quick reminder that your parent consultation will take place this week.  This will be a short session to let you know how your child is settling and to give you the opportunity ask any questions.

We regularly update our EYFS blog. Please like our Broadford Primary Facebook page every time you see an EYFS blog. Feel free to make a comment on the children’s experiences.
