FS1 Notices

Our last full week in FS1 - a mixture of excitement and sadness!  However, all our incredible children are so ready to move up to FS2, whether at BSM or elsewhere.

As we come to the end of a wonderful year, we would like to say a heartfelt thank you for all your support, kindness, and partnership throughout FS1.

To our amazing children, we are so proud of everything you have achieved. It has been a joy to watch you learn, grow, and shine. We wish you the very best of luck as you move on to FS2 – we know you will do brilliantly!

Thank you for all the special memories. We will miss you and wish you a happy, successful, and exciting future.

The FS1 children will visit FS2 on Monday next week - for our moving up morning. 

It was wonderful to see all our awesome dads at school this week! We appreciated your time and we had lots of fun. We hope you enjoyed the glitter fun!

We have been revising what we have learned throughout the year in both phonics and maths throughout this week and consolidating learning. . 

Thank You 

Thank you to everyone who has kindly brought in food for our tortoises and for Snowy the rabbit. Your generosity is greatly appreciated and helps us to care for our class pets. The children love helping to look after them and learning about the importance of kindness and responsibility towards animals.  

PE Lessons

In Term 3, FS1 will have a PE lesson every Thursday.  There is no PE kit necessary - just their usual uniform. However, please send them in wearing trainers every Thursday. 

Reading book

On Tuesday, children will be sent home with a reading book, alongside their library book. The reading book is designed to encourage children to use their imagination and storytelling skills, allowing them to “read” the story to you using their own ideas and creative language. Some of these books may contain few or no words, giving children the opportunity to take the lead in telling the story.

Please return both the reading book and library book to school the following Tuesday, when they will be changed.

Monster Phonics

Monster Phonics have created a series of short, practical parent videos designed to guide families through how to support early reading and phonics in a simple and accessible way. These are ideal for sharing with parents to build confidence and consistency between school and home. Please see the Monster Phonics poster here.

• Library: Our library sessions will take place on Tuesdays. Please ensure that books are returned on Tuesday mornings so your child can borrow a new one to enjoy at home.

• Please note that we promote healthy eating, it is important that snack boxes contain healthy food and perhaps a small ‘treat.’ 

• Correct uniform is to be worn by the children, please check the school website if you are unsure. FS1 children do not need a PE uniform. 

• We do require a change of clothes in a labeled bag in case of any accidents. This will remain in school instead of being sent home each day.

• Please do not hesitate to contact the Primary Office if you have any questions or queries. 

Thank you for your continued support at home - it makes a huge difference to the children’s confidence and progress in school. Please do not hesitate to contact the Primary Office if you have any questions or queries.

Gate opening times

Please note that the Blue EYFS Gate opens at 7:10 am and closes promptly at 7:30 am. Punctuality is very important, as FS2 children begin structured phonics and maths sessions during this time.

We are always available at the gate for quick questions or to hear any information you would like to share about your child. Please speak to us if you have anything important to let us know.
