Thank you to everyone for coming to our Christmas performance. We hope you had a lovely time.
We have given your child a homework pack to ensure they continue to practise their numbers and phonic sounds throughout the holidays. It is very important that children continue to spend at least 15 minutes daily engaged in some sort of learning activity so they do not fall behind. We hope you find the pack helpful. Next week’s homework is included within this pack.
This will be the last newsletter for this term however please remember that school will continue next week as normal. Children will break up for the holidays on 21th December at 1.30pm.
Many thanks

We would like to ask all Parents and Carers to ask their child about the school day in order to develop their speaking and listening skills. Encourage your child to include as much detail as possible when answering and ensure they are speaking in full sentences when they are talking. This will support oral sentence structure which will then be of help to your child when it comes to writing sentences.
Many thanks

Please continue to practise phonic sounds with children at home. We have daily sessions to read and write sounds ensuring that they are formed correctly. We move on to supporting children read and write simple words once they are confident with their sounds. Please encourage and support children with this at home where possible.
In addition we are practising how to write numbers 1-20. Please ensure children spend time doing this at home.
Many thanks

Dear Parents and Carers,
This is the first of the weekly newsletters which will be sent home every Friday informing you of what we will be doing at school during the following week; I hope you will find them useful. They will tell you our focus for that week, what we intend to learn and some of the activities we will be doing. This will help you talk to your child about what they have been doing at school and also to help support their learning at home. If you have any questions please just come and ask any day after school.

Our first week in reception.
We have really enjoyed our first week at school! The rules and routines have all been explained to the children and they have all adapted really well into school life.
