Dear Parents,

We are preparing for Christmas in YR and are busily getting ready for the nativity. We are also walking to Sacred Heart for the first time this week. Please ask your children about all of these experiences. Also,  thank you to all who volunteered and came to Staunton with us on Monday!

The Early Years Team

We have had an incredible week at school! We went to pets at home, had visits from some amazing dogs and are preparing for our trip to Staunton!

We have a special mention from Mrs White this week to say that the children have been really working hard to take care of our outside area this week, sweeping and collecting leaves. Well done!

Here’s our final week of nativity preparations and a successful trip tomorrow. Wrap up warm!

The Early Years Team

We we have had a fabulous time at pets at home. It was great for us to practice our road safety and behaviour in public before we go to Staunton next week. Ask your child what they did at pets at home!

Below you will find a link to a PDF version of our new home learning pyramid. Please choose activities to do with your child as and when. You can either record these in the home learning adventure book they were given today or on tapestry. Happy home learning!

Thanks to all who attended the Welcome Meeting on Monday. We hope it has made a difference to your understanding of how to support your children with their learning at home.

There is only one more week until half term when your children get a well-deserved break!

Have a great weekend,

The Early Years Team

Hello all!

We have been waiting until your children are sufficiently settled to have our welcome meeting but the time has come!

We will see you at 3.20 tomorrow in Seahorse Class to give more information and answer any questions you may have.

See you tomorrow,

The Early Years Team

Well done everyone, we have survived their first full week of school! I am sure the children are sleeping well and looking forward to next week. We have been up to lots of bits and bobs this week, including visiting the woods, having our photo taken by the news, having our first phonics lessons and having lunch breaks with the older children ok the playground!

Keep accessing tapestry for more info!

Have a great week,

The Early Years Team

Have your children been telling you all about their week?

We have been so busy! We have made shape sandwiches, been to the woods again, had another trip to the library and many more bits and bobs! Log on to tapestry to find out more. We can see you have been enjoying bug club, but if you have any problems logging on to any of the services please contact Miss Moncreaff.

Have a lovely weekend and get a good night’s sleep ready for starting full time on Monday!

Thanks for all your support,

The Early Years Team

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!
