Week 2

Dear Parents,

I am so impressed with how well the children have settled back into the class routine after spending a week at home. We have had no tears and all pupils have come in settled and eager to learn something new!

We have introduced Read, Write, Inc. (RWI) this week! The children have learnt the sounds m, a, s. Please watch the videos below to gain more understanding on how these sounds are taught and pronounced. The children have enjoyed the sessions and we have been practising to write them in lots of different ways. I will be sending home all the sound cards this week for you to work on at home.

We received a new puppy friend to join us in the Nursery. Rex the dog will be watching the children all week and will be choosing a child to spend the weekend with. Charlotte was the lucky lady this weekend. I hope he is having lots of fun! We have also started star of the day. Please keep an eye on the window to see if your little one is star of the day.

We also listened to the first story of Christmas and have been learning lots of new songs for our first nativity concert. For the first time ever, Nursery will be performing on there own. I am sure we will have lots of fun preparing for this over the next few weeks. All parts have been send home and any speaking parts will be given out next week. If you have any questions please just ask!

The letter for our Trip to see Santa will also be sent home this week. We have plenty of helpers for this trip so there will be no need to take parents, however there will be more trips throughout the year that will give you the opportunity to attend.

On the day of the trip it will also be Christmas jumper day and Christmas dinner day. The children can wear their Christmas jumpers with normal school uniform for the trip and all children are invited to join the rest of the school for Christmas dinner.

If you would like your child to stay for dinner, the part time children can be picked up at 2.00PM, this will be on the 13^th December. If you have any questions please just ask!

There was an error on the text message sent home regarding the INSET training day in February.  I can confirm that the INSET is on Friday 7^th February.

Please see the blog post below with regards to Children In Need on the 15^th November. The PTA will also be taking Christmas pictures of the children so can you please put a Christmas jumper in their bag.

I understand there is a lot of information and dates to remember at the moment so please see the grid below to keep track.

Thank you for your continued support, if you have any questions please come and see me.
