Welcome back to Term 1!

 

We hope you have all had a lovely summer holiday and are ready for the start of a new Autumn term! We are very excited to be in a new classroom with new staff and new friends.

We will be inviting you into school to meet the team and see the classroom over the next couple of weeks.    

Term 1 Theme

For the first 2 weeks of term we will be working on the theme ‘All about me’. This will give the children lots of opportunities to learn about each other through songs, games and sensory exploration. We will also be encouraging the children to be as independent as possible working around our areas of the classroom, these being  imaginative play, messy play, sand and water our physical area but not forgetting a lot of outside play .This will allow the children to explore their new classroom environment. 

We will then be moving on to the theme ‘Celebrations.’  Our focus book for this is “Were going to the toyshop” We will be introducing songs, games and sensory activities using elements from this story. 

 

Swimming 

Your child’s swimming sessions will be on a Monday. Please send in their swimming kit at the start of the week. Swimming kits should include - swimming costume or swimming shorts, swim nappy, tegaderm (if required), 2 towels and shower gel. 

Home-school contact

Please use the home-school diary or email either of us with any questions you may have or information you want to share. If you need to speak to us for any reason please phone the school office on 0117 353 3622.

If your child is going to be absent, we really appreciate an early morning phone call to the office by 8.30am, and a message left on the answering machine, as this greatly helps us plan our staffing. Thank you.
