05.10.20 - This week in Early Years

An important message to start this week's blog:

We currently live in strange times and this means that we are unable to invite you into school and it is not possible to have a "quick chat" at the beginning or end of the day at the moment. After half term there will be some form of Parent/Teacher Consultation - we will let you know details nearer the time of how we can make this happen. However, in the meantime, if you have concerns or you would like to know how your child has settled into school please send me an email using earlyyears@downhallprimary.com and I will get back to you.

Having said that I would also like to add that Mrs Fincham and I have been SO impressed with how all the children have started their school journey at Down Hall and you should all be very proud of your super children! As we said this week, when talking about at our Class Charter, Pearl Class ARE the best team at Down Hall.

Now on to our plans for next week!

This week in Early Years we will be:

• Sharing some more stories together and talking about what happens in them.
• Using scissors to carefully cut out different types of lines. 
• Writing our names to start our names display in our classroom. 
• Continuing to sing our "How Many Days" song and finding out what happens when we get to 10 days.
• Singing our number rhymes, including the silly one about the monkeys and the crocodile!

You may have seen on our class page on the school website that we have WOWs. These are slips of paper that would normally come in from home when your child has done something that makes you proud and makes you say "WOW!" At the moment we are unable to have things coming in from home...however if there is a WOW that you would like to share, please feel free to email them to me and I will add it to our WOW wall in class. We have had WOWs for all sorts of reasons in the past; from trying a new food, sleeping in their own bed, having their hair washed or for trying to write letters. It doesn't matter what it is, it just has to be a proud moment. It would be lovely to be able to share some of these in class. Please email any to me using earlyyears@downhallprimary.com

Many thanks to everyone who has sent in a coat and wellies for their child to leave in school, it is very much appreciated and I can imagine the wellies will be used very soon given the current weather!

See you next week!
