07.11.22 - This coming week in Early Years

Hello everyone, 

We have enjoyed playing in the rain this week, spending time jumping in the puddles and watching the water drip from the canopy. We have also been trialling a new Phonics scheme, you may have heard your child singing some of our new songs - we will be updating the Phonics section of our class page to reflect these changes as soon as possible.

Just a few things to mention before we talk about the learning for this coming week. 

Poppies

Next week, the children will have the opportunity to purchase poppies within class. As well as the poppies, there are some other Royal British Legion merchandise (such as key rings, wrist bands and slap bands) which can be purchased. The suggested donation for these items are 50p for a poppy and £1 for other items. If you wish your child to get any of these, then please send them in with their money any day next week.

Book Fair

Our Book Fair takes place next week, it will be open Tuesday - Friday after school in the hall. We are only able to take cash at this fair.


Now on to our learning for this coming week, we will be:

  • Reading different versions of this week's story, "The Three Little Pigs".
  • Building houses using different construction materials and then testing them against a big bad wolf!
  • Starting our Vocabulary Ninja sessions.
  • Making our own Poppies for Remembrance.
  • Watching the CBeebies film "Poppies" on Remembrance Day and observing the silence at 11am.


This week we will resume our drop in sessions after school. The drop in this week will be on THURSDAY.

Now that we have returned from half term and to encourage the children's independence, it would be great if you could try and let your child walk to our Early Years gate by themselves in the morning. There is an adult on each entrance to the school who can take any messages and we are always available for a chat at home time, or you can email us using earlyyears@downhallprimary.com.

Have a lovely weekend, 
Miss Wakefield, Mrs O'Connor and Miss Langley
