Story of the week
A selection of books around the topic People Who Help Us including ‘Teacher’ and ‘Doctor’
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:
This week the focus is on showing numbers 0-5 on our fingers. Not only is this an objective in nursery, but it will be a lifelong skill that supports your child with addition, subtraction, multiplying and division in later learning.
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.
Jubilee Celebrations
During the week beginning 23rd May, pupils will be taking part in lots of exciting activities to celebrate the Queen's Platinum Jubilee!
Each year group will focus on a decade of the Queen's reign and explore some areas of life in that given decade. Please see below for a schedule for the week (subject to change).
There will be a red, white and blue dress up day on Thursday 26th May along with a special Jubilee menu. On Friday 27th May, all pupils are invited to a Party in the Playground. There will be music, food and games. Fingers crossed the rain holds off!
Reading trackers will be coming round this week. They will be started off in class next week and we encourage the children to complete them at home over the half term break.
Pupils should complete their trackers and return to their teacher by Tuesday 7th June. Children will receive a certificate for participating and be entered into a prize draw to win royal-themed books.
The class who enter the most completed trackers will receive a special treat!
