The children have made us very proud this week, they have settled in to their classes really well. We have been talking about our families and painting pictures of them too. On Thursday we went for a woodland walk to pick blackberries and to see if there were any creatures in the bramble! Most children had a named P.E kit today, if you haven’t brought one in yet please try to have one ready for next Friday.

We have really enjoyed our home visits this week and hope you have to. It has been so kind of you to welcome us into your homes and we must say a big ‘thank you’ as it sends a very clear message to the children: that we are all working as a team!

We hope your little ones are ready and excited for Monday! We do expect a few tears (mainly from the parents) anf assure you that we do not take this important day in your childs life lightly. They will be well looked-after and will have lots of fun, so please do not worry!

See you Monday, with labelled uniform, bookbags and maybe the children too!

The Early Years Team

We hope you have had a lovely week.

It has been great to end the week with a little bit of sunshine!

Weather permitting, on Thursday, we will be having sports day. Please do not forget to send your child in IN THEIR PE KIT and HOUSE COLOURED TOP!

If you cannot remember your child’s house please speak to the office as they have a list and can let you know which colour they need to wear. We hope to see as many of you as possible to cheer us on!

Have a lovely weekend,

The Early Years Team

We hope you had a great half term and an even better time at St Peter’s Fest on Friday! Can you write to us about it?

We have also been busy practising for sports day: please keep improving your skills in the garden at home!

Have a good week…

Bloom’s HL – the seaside

We have been doing lots of outdoor learning this week, especially when learning about capacity, floating and sinking- the weather has really been fabulous for us!

We are, however, looking ahead now to next week -HEROES WEEK- and thinking about all the exciting plans!

We will be having talks from various local heroes and are looking forward to hearing about heroic jobs and people within the community.

Don’t forget that, on Friday, you can dress up as one of the heroes you have learned about and bring in a bottle for ‘Pop and Proms’ instead of a donation.

Thank you for your continued support,

The Early Years Team

Can you believe how busy we have been this week?

Not only did some lovely parent helpers take us to Marwell but we even had a visit from Trish and Sam from Petersfield South Central Ambulance Service!

Home learning this week is to learn your home address in case of an emergency and, if you can, write some facts about the animals you saw!

Have a happy and restful weekend,,

Miss Moncreaff and Mrs Stray

Are you looking forward to Monday? We certainly are!

Please bear in mind these top tips:

The weather on Monday is currently forecast to be warm with scattered showers. We therefore ask that every child has:

• School uniform

• Sensible shoes they can walk in (we don’t want any blisters!)

• A rucksack (as your child will be carrying their own lunch until 11.30am)

• A water bottle (no fizzy drinks)

• A layer of sun-cream on
• A lightweight, hooded, waterproof coat (e.g. pack-a-mac)

If your child is bringing their own lunch please ensure it is in a disposable bag in their rucksack, no glass or fizzy drinks please! Please don’t send in a lunchbox or plastic containers as your child will have to carry this round the zoo all day.

Lastly, we will not be visiting the gift-shop as we simply won’t have enough time. Please do not send your child in with money.

Thank you for your support, we are very much looking forward to Monday.

It has been great having the children back in school this week: they seem well rested and ready for the summer term!

We kicked things off with our new ‘wild things’ topic which you will see from our home learning pyramid. This means we have been using our imaginations to create our own wild things and have used this as a context for our writing. Do you have any wild stories at home that you could read at bed time?

We are looking forward to our trip to Staunton on Monday. Please ensure that children are dressed appropriately and have a coat and their wellies (if not already in school).

Thanks to all our fabulous volunteers which have enabled the trip to go ahead.

Have a great weekend!
