Nursery rhyme of the week
This week the children continued to learn Incy wincy spider.
Here are the words:
Incy wincy spider climbed up the waterspout,
Down came the rain and washed the spider out,
Out came the sun and dried up all the rain,
So Incy wincy spider climbed up the spout again.

Expressive Arts and Design: As the weather is warmer, the children enjoyed being in the garden playing musical instruments and dancing, moving and singing to nursery rhymes.
Preparing for Reception
Each week we will include a tip to help prepare your child for reception; although it seems a long way off the summer term will shortly pass and September will be here before we know it!
Tip of the week:
Get a child height coat peg at home to promote independence and encourage your child to have practice putting their coat on and off by themselves. Allow them time and a lot of praise for doing their zip up by themselves.
Focus child Meetings
Each week children will be chosen to be observed by their keyworker. Emails will be sent home to inform parents of the upcoming parent meeting taking place the following week, either in person or via telephone. Parents will have an opportunity to complete a form asking questions and sharing concerns they may have for the key worker to answer during the parent meeting. This form will be sent via email. Please check your emails weekly for school communications and evidence me parents share from your children's teachers. Parents are welcome to upload pictures and videos of their children at home.
Key Information
Please LABEL all your children's belongings, including both shoes and wellington boots.
When the weather is forecast to be hot and sunny please provide a named hat for your child and dress them in summer appropriate clothing.
Please ensure your child has high factor water suncream on before attending school.
