New Term newsletter - April 2016

            12th April 2016


Dear Parents / Carers,

I hope you enjoyed your Easter break. I certainly did!

We look forward to the start of our final term and hope that the sunshine and warmer weather continues so we can learn and play outside as much as possible. I would like to continue the weekly walks to Newbold College Grounds to observe changes, insects and growth that the warmer climate will bring.

We will have some little visitors arriving this week: caterpillars which will hatch into butterflies. When the time is right, we will release them into their natural habitat, in Sylvia’s Garden. We look forward to learning more about growth and change.

EY Worship
We are going to look at 3 different stories over the next term

1. God saves Moses
2. God saves David
3. God saves Daniel

We discover and celebrate how God saved a baby Moses in a miraculous way. God needed a strong leader to show the world what he was like and Moses was the ideal man.

PE
We will also be doing as much PE outside as we can. Our plan for this term is to focus on team-work, along with some activities to prepare the children for our Sports Day later in the term. During the second half of this term, as well as our sports day, we will be celebrating international day and have a school trip to look forward to. More details to follow….

Phonics
We will continue to have our daily ability phonic groups We will do our best to help prepare your child’s holistic development for their move to F2/reception.
IMPORTANT DATE: THIS Thursday (14th April) is a phonics workshop at 12.05 – 12.25pm and at 3.10-3.30pm in F2 classroom. It’s an opportunity to go through phonic sounds, understand more about what group your child is in and what we will be covering in an interactive way and a chance to ask me any questions. Please try to come along if you can, to one of them. It will start prompt.

Stay and Play
We look forward to welcoming as many parents as possible to our ‘stay-and-play’ session on Friday 17th June at 11.30am – 12.30pm. This will give you an insight as to what your child enjoys doing at school and an opportunity to ask us any questions you may have. A reminder and more details will follow nearer the time.
There will be some new children starting over the next few weeks so we look forward to welcoming them.

As always, we welcome your feedback and enjoy working in partnership with you. Thank you for your continued support. Please remember that we have an open door policy so you are always welcome to chat to us.

God Bless
Best Regards



Mrs Jennings and the F1 team.
