Autumn Term 2018
Welcome back to school. We hope you all had a lovely Summer. The children have all settled in to school well and we are establishing the routines and making new friendships. We will be soon starting our new topic which will be based on the story of the Little Red Hen and we will have challenges and problems that the hen will ask us to solve, but more of that later in the term.
This term we will be making observations on the children and finding out about what the children know and don't know and what we need to work on next. These will form their baseline assessments, which we will report to you about in the parents evening in November.
Reading
Children in Reception will be bringing home reading books for them to read to you. We want to make reading fun at this early stage so please choose a time, when children are relaxed and away from distractions. Spend lots of time talking about the pictures and encouraging children to talk about what they think will happen next. When reading encourage children to finger point to the words and to look at the initial letters. If your child doesn't want to read don't force them, suggest that you could read one page and they read the next. It is better to read a little each night then for a long time on one night and don't forget to share other stories too.
Nursery and Reception children will also bring home a library book for you to read to them. Encourage lots of discussion about the pictures and answering questions about the story.
Woodland Wednesday
Children will begin these forest sessions this week. They will explore the forest during different seasons, den building and learning about minibeasts. Please ensure that children have appropriate clothing (waterproofs and wellies). Please can all children come to school in their forest clothes with uniform underneath. Please remember to bring a change of shoes and please make sure everything is clearly labelled.
PE
Reception children will take part in a weekly PE session. Children need to have a PE kit in school each week (white T-shirt, shorts and pumps). These can be brought to school at the beginning of the half term and left in school.
All children are provided with a healthy snack, please pay for this at the beginning of the week at a cost of £1.50.
We hope all children are happy in school, if you have anything you wish to discuss or any worries or concerns, please don't hesitate to call in to school. I am available most nights at 3.15pm.
Thank you for your support,
Mrs E Jones
