Today is the first day of phonics! It is PE in the afternoon, so please make sure your child has their PE kit in school.

Phonics and maths in the morning as usual, followed by PSHE in the afternoon this half-term. In this week's lesson we will be learning what the word 'perseverance' means, and that we need to keep trying, even when something feels tricky. 

Mrs Bird will be teaching today. Phonics and maths in the morning, followed by our first proper Forest School. Please make sure you have sent in named boots that fit your child, and don't forget to ask them what our Forest School rules are!

Thursday 

Phonics and maths in the morning, followed by exploring our topic, 'Marvellous Me' in the afternoon. If you haven't had a chance yet, please do send in some pictures of their family or some mementos that we can use to talk to the children about themselves and their family. We have had some lovely things so far so thank you for that. Each child has their own pocket in the classroom to store them safely - we have had National Trust maps, tickets to castles, and a 4th birthday badge!

Phonics and maths in the morning, as well as our celebration assembly! Each week our visiting clergy join us for this special assembly. We use this time to celebrate our 'Star of the Week' from each class, birthdays, and award the Manners Trophy to the class with the best manners of the week. Your child can also bring in anything they would like to celebrate from activities outside of school.
