Reception

 Hello all,  Our parents visits are very popular with the children and I hope you are all finding them as rewarding. It has been so nice to see the interactions with the children and all the parents. We look forward to welcoming more over the next few weeks. I am sorry we didn't manage to go the woods but I have to take a risk assessment each time we go. Unfortunately, on Monday there were trees down blocking the route so it was defiantly a no go. Hopefully we will be able to go there next week.  The children are enjoying lots of season learning with our winter cold area and we have now, after popular request reinstated another hair salon.  This has been a huge success and the learning has been exceptional covering all the areas of learning. Next week, we will be taking part in the Big Schools' Birdwatch. We are very lucky to have lots of trees and green areas within our school grounds so we are hoping to see lots of birds.

  Hello all, It was great to have parents in our classroom for stay and play session on Tuesday and we are looking forward to the next visits.  This week we have continued with 'Jack Frost' story. The children wrote letters and drew pictures to Jack Frost inviting him to our Foundation Unit. We have found lots of evidence of Jack visiting us such as foot prints, lots of frost and ice in the garden. Wood walks Please make sure you have read the notice on the door of foundation providing information about our weekly wood walks.  We are going to be starting our wood walks this term and are hoping, weather permitting that we can take groups of children out each Monday for a walk round the woods at the bottom of Coopers Road. This can only take place if we have adult helpers. We will leave at 9.00am and be back at approximately 9.45/10.00am. This will be a great opportunity to start our week with some fresh air and exercise and an opportunity for you to support your child...

 Welcome back,  It has been a good week in foundation and the children seem very happy to be back with their friends. We have created a Winter area for the children to play and learn in, with lots of activities relating to the cold. I have included some photos for you to see.  Next week we are going to be starting  stay and play sessions. We have put families into groups so that we don't have too many people in the unit at once. Please make sure that you know what date you are invited to join us and speak to me if you have any queries. Child Initiated Stay and Play Sessions Happy New Year to you all. The children are happy to be back and have settled well into their routines. This term we have decided to hold some child initiated stay and play sessions every Tuesday morning starting next week. This will be an opportunity for you to stay and play with your child in the foundation environment, seeing and learning what they do on a daily basis. We are hoping this will h...
