18.09.23 - This coming week in Early Years

WOW! What a busy week! The children are probably very tired today, as are we, but we are so proud of how they have coped during their first full week! 😊 

Swimming will be starting on Wednesday, so please can we ask that ALL clothing is NAMED and any earrings are removed. Please note that the children do not need to wear a tie on Wednesdays, whilst we have swimming sessions, as this will help us when helping the children get dressed again.

On to our learning for next week, we will be:

  • Sharing some more stories together and talking about what happens in them, including the story "Titch".
  • Thinking about the members of Titch's family and talking about our own families.
  • Playing some games with our namecards.
  • Taking some special photographs, on Tuesday and Thursday, to send to the Echo newspaper for their New Intake supplement.
  • Starting our swimming sessions on Wednesday.
  • Continuing to sing our "How Many Days" song and finding out what happens when we get to 10 days.
  • Singing number rhymes, including the silly one about the monkeys and the crocodile!

This week will also see our first drop-in session. These take place straight after school and are an opportunity for you to come and see your child's class and some of the things we have been busy doing. Please let us see the children out first before coming into the classrooms. Our drop-in will take place on TUESDAY.

You may have seen in this week's newsletter that we now have milk in Early Years. This is free for those children who are still 4, however it can be available for those who are 5 at a subsided price. Please let us know if you DO NOT wish your child to be offered the milk.

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