Welcome to Term 1

We hope you have all had a wonderful summer and are ready for a brilliant year ahead! We have lots of exciting learning and trips planned this term, including our trips to forest school in weeks 5, 6, 7 and 8 of this term. We will need parent/carer volunteers for these trips, so please email your child's class teacher if you are able to come along - any support would be greatly appreciated!

Our doors open at 8:40 and all children are expected to be in class by 8.50.  The morning activities are an important part of consolidating learning. 

Over the first few weeks, your child's class teacher will take time to read with your child and allocate them a reading book and new reading record. Please ensure children bring their Little Wandle book, reading record and a water bottle to school every day.

Our Term 1 newsletter and the curriculum overviews are linked below, where you can find out more about what the children will be learning this term.

 

 PE days:

Cherry Class: Wednesdays

Elm Class: Thursdays

Beech Class: Wednesdays

 Library Days:

TBC later in the term.

 

 If you have any skills or experiences that would support the children in their learning this term, please speak to your child’s class teacher. Also, if you're able to help volunteer to read with our children, please do let us know. 

 If you have any queries, please don't hesitate to get in touch with your child's class teacher. Email addresses can be found below, and we will be at the classroom doors at the end of the day.
