Learning Challenge

 

Each half term we will be  setting our pupils a challenge related to their learning. We believe that it is important for us to provide guidance for parents on how their children's learning can be extended at home.

 

The learning challenge will include either a nursery rhyme, illustration or a piece of music. Please talk to your child about the challenge and help them to engage in their learning. The children can choose how they present their learning challenge outcomes to their teacher or class.

Messages.

 

Thank you to Adrian’s dad for coming in to the afternoon children and making a Brazilian dish with them! We will blog the photos.  If you have any skills you would like to share with the children we would be greatly appreciate.

 

The book borrowing seems to be going well, please continue to borrow books.  Thank you for the book reviews

 

You may have noticed our display above the coat hooks. 'I can put my coat on'.   We are trying to encourage the children's independence skills, as we notice that they can put their own coats on we will put their photo on the board.  Once this has been achieved by most of the children we will change the objective.

 

One of the morning children went home with different sized shoes the other day.  Please see a member of staff if your daughter did the same. So we can return the correct shoes to the girls.

 

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.
