- Half Term homework - now that the weather is starting to turn a little colder it will start to take us longer and longer to get ready for going outside. We would be very grateful if you could spend a little bit of the holiday encouraging your child to put on their coat and try to do it up by themselves. We would love to see any of the children giving it a go, so please feel free to send us any photos using ClassDojo.
- In your child's bag is their Christmas card design and the letter explaining the process. The deadline for the children's art work to be returned to school is Tuesday 4th November.
- In your child's bag is a project letter telling you about our next project "Once Upon a Time" which we start after half term. This letter is also on our website and can be found here.

06.10.25 - This coming week in Early Years
Hello everyone,
It was lovely to see so many of you at our Phonics Workshop today. We hope you have found it helpful. I have added a link to our Phonics page on the website. This is where you can find out how we say the sound for each letter and how we teach the children to write each letter. The Phonics page can be found here.
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.
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 then bring these books home on Friday)
- Comparing objects by their size, mass or capacity in our Mathematics sessions.
- Working on our Christmas card designs, as we ran out of time last week.
- Writing a sentence again, remembering to use finger spaces.
