Settling

Friday 13 September 2024

All of the children are now in full-time and are continuing to settle in, get to know each other and learn our daily routines. We’ve had lots of fun exploring our learning this week. Take a look at what we’ve been up to:

PE; Foot-Tech

The children really enjoyed their first Foot-Tech  and teacher-led PE sessions.

Each Wednesday and Friday, Reception will take part in a range of fun activities and games. In Early Years, our PE lessons have a key focus on developing the fundamentals of movement and ensuring that children are continuously engaged and active throughout.

 

Help at home; Family photos 

Next week, we will be continue to think about our families. To help support our discussions, please send in one picture of your family together. We will keep the photograph on display, so please send photos you are happy for us to keep. You can also email photos to the email address below.

Thank you to parents and carers who have already provided these.

PE Days

Please send your child to school in their PE kit on Wednesday and Friday.

Swimming kits are not yet needed, we will send a message out when you need to start sending the kit and a list of dates that your child will be swimming.

Here is a link to our uniform policy.

Wellies and spare clothes

Don’t forget to bring your school wellies and a bag of spare uniform/PE kit, including underwear and socks to keep in school. Thank you to parents and carers who have already provided these.

Dates for your diary

This year we will be offering various opportunities for you to find out more about Early Years at school.

There will be after school meetings with your child’s teacher.

There’ll be stay and learn sessions where you can come into school and be part of a lesson and then find out how you can help at home.

Then, opportunities to pop into school to share your child’s learning journey book with them.

We hope that you can join us for as many of these sessions as possible.
