14.10.24 - This coming week in Early Years

Hello everyone, 

We have had another busy week, with our Reading sessions starting this week. The children have brought home their reading book and diary today. The books are those which the children have read during the week in school. Please write in the diary to let us know how the reading is going at home. The books will be changed every Friday. It is VERY IMPORTANT that the children have their books in their bags every day and particularly on a Friday so they can get swapped. Please use the coloured wallet for these books to try and keep them safe from water bottle spillages!

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

• Continuing our daily Phonics sessions, learning the next 4 sounds and the next Rainbow word.
• Thinking about patterns in our Mathematics sessions.
• Carefully drawing around a template and then cutting out some Autumn leaves using different coloured paper.
• Going on an Autumn walk around our school grounds, seeing how many different coloured leaves we can find.
• Taking part in World Food Day on Wednesday.
• Talking about how we have changed since we were a baby. Many thanks to everyone who has sent in a baby photo so far. PLEASE send in a photo by Monday, this can be done via ClassDojo if that is easier. 

There is no drop in this week, instead all parents are invited to come into school on Wednesday to sample some of the food from World Food Day.

Have a lovely weekend

07.10.24 - This week in Early Years

Hello everyone, 

This week has seen our second bundle of 10, meaning we have passed day 20! It is good to reflect on how much your children have already done in such a short time in school - we are very proud of how well they have adapted to our Phonics and name writing sessions and are excited for our Reading sessions that will start next week.

This week, there is a whole school message from Mrs Witherall:

Science Day! Thursday 10th October

On Thursday next week, we have invited Sublime Science to Down Hall to provide all the children with a day of scientific experiments. In light of this, could we please ask that your children come into school wearing clothes that you don't mind getting a little messy.

Should you wish to embrace your little scientist further at home, then click on the link below and this will take you to their website, where you can access 101 free experiment ideas.

Sublime Science

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

• Sharing the story "A Book of People Like Me" and thinking about things that we like and things that we don't like. 
• Continuing our daily Phonics sessions, learning the next 4 sounds and our first Rainbow word.
• Starting our Reading sessions this week, sharing books linked to our Anima Phonics sounds. (The children will bring these books home next Friday)
• Continuing our with Start-Bee sessions and trying to remember the words to the Pencil Grip song.
• Taking part in the Sublime Science day on Thursday and carrying out our own investigations. 

Thank you to everyone who has sent in a baby photo. We will need these by Monday 14th October. Please can the children either bring in a photo OR can 1 be sent in via ClassDojo for us to print out in school. 

Drop in this week will be on MONDAY.

Have a lovely weekend
