We thought it may be helpful for you all to have the dates for your child's focus week, as it is a little different in the first half term due to us having to do assessments.

Below are the dates for your child's fruit group's focus week. You will have been given which group your child is in on home visits. It will be their turn for show and tell on the Friday of their focus week.

Week 26th September - Strawberry & Orange groups
Week 3rd October - Pineapple & Kiwi groups
Week 10th October - Blueberry & Grape groups

Autumn Term One
Our over-arching statement for the Autumn Term One will be:

Lights, camera, action!

Over this half term, we aim to explore main question…

Does everyone have a pet at home?

Using some carefully selected well-known stories, the children will explore their ‘uniqueness’ while developing an appreciation for other people. We know that children are more likely to engage with their learning if presented with meaningful contexts and a keen interest in the subject matter. Therefore, staff remain open on the path we take to explore new concepts and skills.

Key Information

PE takes place on a Friday. If your child has their ears pierced please ensure earrings are removed in the morning before school.

PLEASE ENSURE YOUR CHILD'S NAME IS IN ALL OF THEIR CLOTHES AND BELONGINGS.

Don't forget book bags are needed EVERY DAY.

If your child wants the opportunity to become the 'Reading Champion', please record any books you look at together in their yellow reading record. 

People continue to use Tapestry as it is an excellent platform for sharing learning from home and in Foundation.

Staff are always willing to discuss ways in which you can help your child at home. Feel free to ask if you are in need of some inspiration or ideas about a certain area of learning!
