NOTICES AND REQUESTS

THIS WEEKEND

Please save any empty boxes to bring in for 3D modelling next week. Each class has a new Santa's workshop in the role play area where the elves (your children) will be wrapping presents. We would also love donations of any spare wrapping paper.

Books

The children are making good progress with their reading. Some are developing their tricky word recognition and all of them are applying their phonic knowledge. Developing a love of books is the most important part of 'reading' at this stage. They all develop at different rates and it is fantastic to see every child make progress at their own pace.

COVID-19 Book system VERSION 3!!

Monday Your child will take home a library book from our library.

Please return the following Monday.

Tuesday Your child will take home a reading book to keep until Friday

Wed/ThursFriFri Your child will take home a book that they have read in school to keep for the weekend and return on the Monday.

Please sign the reading record and write a comment, if you have time, every time you read with them.

We would love it if you could share a book from home, or from the library, with your child every day.

We recommend that you use a variety of real books (not just from a purchased reading scheme) to enjoy together and to talk about. They are so much more enjoyable than scheme books and introduces your children to a variety of authors, genres and plots that they can use in their story writing and role play.

Let's have a party! 

Focus for the week beginning Monday 30th November

For more information on our curriculum https://www.foundationyears.org.uk/files/2012/03/Development-Matters-FINAL-PRINT-AMENDED.pdf

If you have any questions, concerns or suggestions then please share them with us at pick up time once all the children have been given to their parents, or via email to the school office.

MORNINGS use the large Nathan Court gate when entering F2 at the beginning of the day so that the F2 parents are not queuing onto the main pathways and public pavement. The children will tell you that Nathan Court is the place where they do PE. The new drop off system is working really well, with the children coming straight into classrooms at 8.40, but please try not to arrive too early at the gate.
