Autumn 1

This half term we will be getting to know each other, making lots of friends and finding out about our daily routines in 'big school'.  We will be exploring the learning environments and having lots of 'adventure time' (child-initiated play).  In the latter half of the half-term we will begin our fun phonics, maths and literacy inputs.

PE

The children will take part in a PE session every Monday.  The children are to come into school wearing their PE kit each Monday.

Welly Wednesdays

On Wednesdays we will be spending more time in our school woods doing forest school activities.  If you have not yet done so please bring some named wellies to be kept in school.       

We take full advantange of our outdoor classroom, woods and fields around school, so please ensure children have their coats each day incase of poor weather. 

EYFS Stay and Play sessions

The dates for these sessions will be publicised soon!

This is an opportunity for you to join your child in class, meet other parents and chat to staff.  Please do not worry if you are unable to make any of these sessions, your child will have plenty of other children and staff to play with!  

EYFS Graduation (parents/guardians invited).

The date for this event (in July) will be publicised soon!
