Welcome to a fresh new academic year!
Dear Parents
/ Carers,
Firstly, may
I thank those of you who kindly bought me cards and gifts. They were very much
appreciated. I hope you are all enjoying the summer holidays. I certainly am.
I want to
welcome you all now in preparation for the start of a fresh new academic year,
which starts on Thursday 3rd September. We will welcome 9 new
children into our class: Hadriel, Daniel, Joanna, Aviwe, Aleeza, Mikel, Amanda
and Samuel, as well as welcoming back Tegan, Emil, Jamie and Liam. That makes a
total of 12 children at the moment. Mrs Elliott has retired and Miss Cliffe
will be the new F1 practitioner working alongside me. She has many years
experience at a Bracknell nursery and is suitably qualified. We both look
forward to nurturing, playing and teaching your child in F1 this term.
We will
continue to incorporate your ideas for planning for your child’s development.
Please watch out for the form to complete. This week and next are settling-in
weeks.
I will be
holding a short presentation for parents after the whole school presentation on
16th September at 6.30pm. I plan to
inform you all about early years and what to expect in Foundation One. Please can
everyone make a special effort to attend. Thank you.
Please note:
PE is on Wednesday mornings. Please wear PE kit to school on this day.
Assemblies in the hall are on Thursdays and Friday mornings so indoor shoes
must be changed into on arrival on these days. Unless it is wet outside,
outdoor shoes can be worn on Mondays-Wednesdays as we have free-flow outside. Our
school day starts at 8.45am and ends at 12.10pm (morning only sessions) and 3.30pm
for all day sessions. The whole school finishes at 12.30pm on Fridays so no lunch is needed to be brought in. Please remember
to pack a healthy lunch that your child will enjoy and actually eat (if staying
for lunch). No nut products please! Every child needs a morning fruit snack and
healthy drink, although we have water and milk.
Please
remember to read the F1 notice board outside the classroom every week for
important information, including phonic sound of the week. More on this and
everything else at the evening presentation….
So, welcome
and remember our door is always open. Working in partnership with you benefits
everyone.
If you have
any questions before school starts, please feel free to email me at :
See you on
the 3rd. J
Best Regards
Mrs Jennings
