week commencing 29th September


Dear Parents

 

Forest school -Sunday 12th October

We will be having a Parent Session in the forest to explain how Forest school works and what activities we will be doing.

Please sign up in the Sunflowers room. All parents are welcome so feel free to come along even if your child is a baby or bluebell!

All the staff had a great time taking part in the forest school training last weekend, check out the photos:





 

 

Photographer -Thursday 2nd October from 1- 5ish

The nursery photographer will come in to take photos of the children. She can do family photos and siblings so if you want to bring the whole family you are more than welcome. They make great Christmas presents!

The open session will run from 3.45-5pm for children and families who aren’t in on Thursday, it will be a first come first served basis.

 

Menus

There are no planned changes to this week’s menu.



This week’s activities

Each key person will be responsible for designing an activity based on their key children’s needs; however, all children who are in on that day will have the opportunity to access the activity too.

If the key person is on holiday or off, another staff member will be able to lead the activity in their place so that the children do not miss out.

For more information on the Early Years Foundation stage, the guidance we use to support our planning and practice, please visit:

Sunflowers

The Sunflowers have one detailed weekly focused activity to ensure all the children have the opportunity to take part in it.

This will work alongside their weekly planned activity list which you can see in the room.

 

This weeks’ activity is: to make a puppet of their choice and talk about why they have chosen to make their puppet.

 

The learning intentions are:

To describe what they have chosen to make and share ideas verbally

To develop confidence in their own ideas

To develop language skills, vocabulary and interactive skills

 

The letter of the week is: U

 

We will be talking about when we need to use Umbrellas

Stencilling the letter U

Drawing and decorating Unicorns

 

Jess is off Friday, Sophie is off Monday and on training on Thursday and Becci is in all week

 

I am on holiday from the 3rd October until 13th. When I come back I will be sorting out the parent passwords for the ILD’s!
