Preparations for the EYFS performance have been hotting up this week! We look forward to seeing you all on Thursday for the performance and the workshops that will follow.
In our phonics sessions, we have been revising the sounds learned and using them to blend and read words such as ‘sat’, ‘pat’ and ‘tap. We have also introduced the ‘i’ sound and have been reading the words- pit, sit, tip.
In our Maths sessions we have continued comparing heights by comparing children and saying who is taller and who is shorter, we have been comparing quantities of objects by counting each carefully and using the words ‘more’ and ‘less’ to describe them. Last week we handled objects and used balancing scales, this week we have been using our imaginations/ judgements to compare objects in terms of weight, describing a pair of objects as either ‘heavy’ or ‘light.’
In our Arabic sessions we have been learning the names of colours.
We have continued talking about our learning ethos creatures- the “Resilient Spider” and “Collaborative Meerkat.”

We have come to a point in the year when the children are independent and happy when coming into school. To promote independence we request that children walk into school independently and not be carried in unless there is a particular reason for this. Please can toys be left at home as bringing these into school results in distraction, tears and a sense of unfairness for those who have not been able to bring anything into school. The children will be given an opportunity to bring a favourite toy into school and share it with their friends when it is there Focus Week in the next round of focus meetings next term.

This week we continued our structured Phonics, English and Maths sessions.
Our Monster Phonics scheme introduces the children to groups of letters each week.
We start with the Black Cat letters!

.
The children were encouraged to record and practice these letters and write simple sentences as a challenge.
We will place some simple songs and videos in the Google classroom folders to support extra practice at home.
In maths we have been doing some work to support the recognition of 2D shapes.
We have also been busy working on baseline assessments with your child on a one to one basis.
In English we have continued working on the book Carla’s Sandwich and promoting healthy eating. The children were also using their knowledge of shapes to recognise and describe the shapes they have in their own yummy lunch boxes!
Again, please check the Google Classroom for support material to use at home.
We had a visit from the nurse in FS2 this week. She measured the height and weight of all the children and was very impressed by their confidence. They asked lots of questions and we used this opportunity to continue to discuss healthy eating, sleep and exercise linking it to their growth and development.
You should now have an email giving you access to our Learning Ladders assessment program which will enable you to look at all the weekly observations on your child. Children from FS1 will have their log in from last year. There will be a Ladders at Home presentation in the next few weeks. (Date TBC)

It has been another amazing week in FS1 this week.
Some children have been so confident and happy coming to school, that they have left Mummy and Daddy at the top gate!!
We have been painting ourselves this week, thinking carefully about what our bodies look like, counting arms and legs.
We have started a “Family” display in the Little Kitchen, we would appreciate any family photographs to contribute to this. The children will be given a chance to talk to their friends about the photo and their family.
Library is held on Wednesday, please remember to return books before or on Wednesday morning so that children are able to select a new book.

Dear Parents
The children have done incredibly well with the start of their full days of school.
It has been so nice to see so many children so confident coming into school, with smiles on their faces!
Please be aware that the Blue EYFS Gate opens at 7.10am and will close at 7.30am.
As the children settle, we will advise you to adopt a ‘drop and go’ system. This enables the children to play independently and line up together ready for registration.
Please be reminded, children are not to bring any personal items into school such as toys and special books as this will inevitably end in tears or sadness if items are lost or broken.
The children have loved exploring the FS garden and feeding the tortoises. If you have any scraps for either the tortoises or the garden compost, please feel free to bring this in and leave at the steps of the garden, either of these things will be gratefully received.

These meetings are a chance to speak in more detail about how your child is settling in and to ask/ answer any further questions.
We look forward to meeting parents at our Meet and Greet event which will be on Monday 17th September at 4pm. Please park at the top car park and make your way down to the Oryx theatre. After a presentation in the Oryx there will be time to see your child’s classroom and meet their teachers.

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, however we do require a change of clothes in a labeled bag in case of any accidents.
