Please Do Come and Chat to Either Mrs Mattinson Or Myself If You Have Any Queries Or Concerns
4th September 2017
COMMUNICATION
Please do come and chat to either Mrs Mattinson or myself if you have any queries or concerns.
MORNING ROUTINES
We would like the Nursery children tohang up their own coat, change their own shoes and go to the snack table to practise writing their name. They should then sit on the rocket mat with a book.
Reception children will need to sort their shoes, coats and book bags and then visit the creative table to practise writing letters, before going to their carpet place with a book.Please support your child in this, allowing them to gain independence as time progresses.
READING BAGS
Reception children will need to bring their phonics books and reading diary every day in their book bags. Initially children will have sounds and/or words to learn. As these sounds and words become familiar, reading books will be given. We firmly believe that all children need to read at home every day. Please support your child in this. From experience we know that children make greatest progress when they read regularly. Please take every opportunity to share a wide range of stories with your child. Books can be borrowed from class.
WELLIES & INDOOR SHOES
Your child will need to have indoor shoes (black plimsolls) and a pair of wellies in school all the time.
Please ensure these are named. Wellies are kept on the named wellie shelves in the Nursery cloakroom. There is a huge possibility that children will get dirty and wet!!!!! Please provide an ‘all-in-one outdoor suit’ if you are concerned about dirt.
TOILETING
We will endeavour to support you and your child as his/her personal hygiene needs develop. It is best if your child has spare underwear in school at all times. All soiled clothing will be sent home.
DRINKS & SNACKS
Fruit and milk is provided for children each day. We ask for a voluntary contribution of £1 a week (or 20p a day for part timers) to help towards the cost of other snacks that are bought to supplement the free fruit. This can be placed in the tin in each cloakroom. Water bottles can be brought in and kept in class.
EYFS INFORMATION EVENING
At 6pm on Tuesday 12th September there will be a short meeting to inform EYFS parents of how we will be approaching Maths, Phonics, Reading and Handwriting. It would be good to see as many parents as possible at this meeting.
