Spring Term

Welcome back!

We hope you have all had a wonderful Christmas. We would like to wish you all a Happy New Year. We would like to thank you all for attending the Christmas craft afternoon and Singalong. The children really enjoyed spending time taking part in the crafts and they did a fantastic job performing to you all. The staff were all very proud of them and we hope you enjoyed the performance too!

We have lots of exciting learning to look forward to this term.  We will be holding a whole school toy sale on Thursday 19th February and we will be hosting the Early Years Music Festival and welcoming lots of other Reception children from other local schools. This year children will be learning songs about space. Children will need to dress up for this event following the space theme.

Forest School will  continue to take place on a Monday and you will need to send your child into school in jogging bottoms/leggings and their school jumper. Can we remind parents that this is not an opportunity for children to wear non-uniform. School jumpers and cardigans must still be worn. Please remember to send them to school with clothes appropriate for the weather conditions-gloves and hats are definitely needed with the colder weather.

PE will take place on Friday and you will need to send your child to school in their PE kit.

We will continue to visit the library on Monday and your child will be able to choose a library book to share with you at home. This is to encourage the love of reading at home and any conversations around a good story. This book is different to the phonics book and we would really like to encourage you to read as much as you can at home. Little and often will build confidence with reading and consistency is key. If you have any quetions or concerns regarding reading please speak to either Mrs Williams or Mrs Elsdon.

As always, if you are unsure about anything or need to talk, we will always be happy to help if we can.

Thank you, EYFS team.
