The children thoroughly enjoyed our visit from the owl man. Inspired by the visit we will be continuing with our story ‘Owl babies’. Your child will be taking part in the following activities (Activities are subject to change, depending on the children’s interests):
Personal, Social and Emotional
Being encouraged to demonstrate friendly behaviour, initiating conversations and forming good relationships with peers and familiar adults.
Responding to simple instructions and following rules.
Learning to put away activities once they have finished playing with them.
Communication and Language
Revisit the story with a small group of children and encourage them to discuss the owl babies' feelings. We will be scribing the children’s feeling on leaf templates, whilst discussing other alternatives words for happy and sad. Answering ‘why’ and ‘how’ questions.
Physical
Moulding owls out of clay
Hall session: The children will continue to go out in small groups to work with our Sports Coach, Mr Clark. Please bring in PE kits as soon as possible.
The children will continue to use the outside area –please send in wellies and a waterproof.

Messages:
The children may bring in something related to our stories for Show and Tell on Friday.
Each child now has a home/school book. This is a book to write their wow moments in and any important messages. If you make a comment in the book, please place it in the tray provided so that we respond to your comment straight away.
Please make sure your child has a spare change of clothes in school just in case they have any little accidents. The spare change of clothes does not have to be school uniform.
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.
You may not be aware that Free School Meals eligible children attract Pupil Premium funding, which is going to be £1300 per child. This additional money is used to improve achievement for that group but it also impacts on all of our children. For instance, a chunk of it pays for the free after school clubs that everyone benefits from. Our Governing Body have discussed how we can use this money to directly help eligible families. Support we can offer includes: free school trips, support with uniform and help with residential trips. If you think you may be eligible, please apply now. You don’t actually have to eat the school dinners… you just have to sign up! The more children who sign up, the more money we get, the more we can help our children. If you feel you are entitled to free schools meals, please pick up a form from the office. If you need help in completing the form, just ask!
Stay and play session:
