Hello!
We have made a brilliant start to our new school year and the children are doing well settling in.
This half term our topic is "Home Sweet Home". Please click on the link at the bottom of the page to read more about what we will be learning in class.
We will be looking at our own homes and things we might find in them. Also we will be looking at homes that are a bit different like lighthouses.
We will be learning a number of the week each week, learning to recognise, count and write these numbers.
We have a lot to look forward to in our learning this half term :)
When we are more settled we will be giving out homework. Homework will be sent home on a Friday and is to be returned on a Monday.
Reading is so important, even at Nursery age. We will change your child's reading book once a week. We will label your child's red reading log book with what day your child changes there book. In Nursery, it is not all about your child reading the book, it is about spending time with your child reading the book together. Parent reading the story and asking questions about the story and pictures to your child. We expect the children to read at home to an adult 3 times a week so they can earn reading badges. Children need to read 10 books for a bronze badge, 14 books for silver and 18 books for a gold badge.
If you have any questions or concerns please send a message on Dojo.
Our First Week
Maple Class
I understand that you are scared
to wave your child goodbye
and leave them in a teacher’s hands
don’t worry if you cry!
I’m used to weeping parents
It’s hard to leave I know.
But it’s time to share them (just a bit)
To help them learn and grow.
Let me reassure you
That I’ll give your child my best
I’ll treat them like I would my own
I’ll catch them from a fall and
If there is ANY problem
I’ll be sure to tell you all.
Soon you’ll see some changes
In your little girl or boy
They’ll become more independent
And to see this, it’s a joy!
I’ll teach them all I have to give
To share, climb and to write
But to you they safely will return
To tuck them in at night.
