General Reminders
Water Bottles
Please send your child to Reception with a labelled water bottle, filled only with WATER. We can refill them if needed throughout the day, but will send them home every night to be washed.
PE
Children have a sports coach every Tuesday morning from 9.30 -10.30 am. This will support the children in their physical development. Please ensure they wear the appropriate P.E. kit on a Tuesday. (It can be worn all day)
Coats and Wellies
Please always send your child to nursery with a waterproof coat and you can leave a labelled pair of wellies in the outdoor classroom. We go outside in all weathers to learn and explore!
Please send us a message on Class Dojo or speak to us if you have any worries or concerns. We want to work together as a partnership to ensure your child is happy and making progress.
Snack Fund
We ask for £5 for the half-term, to be brought in an envelope with your child's name. The fund goes toward paying for special celebration snacks (EYFS are proud to celebrate all special occasions - Chinese New Year, Divali, Pancake Tuesday, Easter - in fact most celebrations that are reflected in our multi-cultural society - and what better way than to do it through sharing food, music and times to be together). We also use funds to buy ingredients for making fresh playdough with the children.
Homework
Set on Class Dojo - a half-termly challenge sheet for you to choose the topic areas from. Work completed at home should be shared either by uploading practical examples on Tapestry or sending work in. Eg. collection of Autumnal items. It can also be downloaded below.
Reading
Once the children are settled into Reception. They will have a reading book and flashcards linked to their reading ability sent home. In addition to this, they will have a library book to encourage reading for pleasure and enjoyment, this is to share between the child and a grown-up. More information to follow.
