Important information:

  • Label everything! Trying to sort out 30 identical jumpers at the end of the day is incredibly difficult. If clothes are labelled it will make it so much easier. – Thank you
  • Please bring in a labelled pair of wellies to keep at school
  • Forest school is every Friday afternoon. Please send children into school wearing their uniform and a bag containing suitable clothes for forest school (t-shirt, tracksuit bottoms, jumper etc) 
  • We will be outside in all weathers so dress for the weather of the day
  • Please pack a full change of clothes every day including shoes (Just in case) as children get very busy and excited often forgetting to go to the toilet until it is too late. 
  • Remember to regularly check the school website/tapestry for updates
  • Drinks bottles are not needed as we will be using cups in the classroom

Learning to Read
Developing a love of reading in children is a great way to encourage the development of many skills and enhances children's love for learning throughout their life. 
In class, we share many stories with children that interest them - anything from dinosaurs to princesses! 
Every Friday, your child can choose a book from our book shelf to take home. This is for you to share with your child, it is not for them to read. 
 
During phonics we will be using the 'Read Write inc' scheme. This gives children a fantastic start to their reading journey. Below are a selection of links to videos that introduce phonics and 'Read Write  inc' as well as showing how you can support your child at home.
