We follow the Early Years Foundation Stage curriculum which uses continuous play and exploration to learn. Adults plan both adult led and child initiated activities that enable the children to develop social skills, self confidence and independence in a range of contexts.   

Please remember to bring:

Tapestry is a communication app for Early Years Families, to share targets, progress and achievements in their Learning Journey. Parents can use this to share achievements at home. Families are provided with a unique login. 

Please contact the school office if you need support.

As you are aware from receiving details of how to log on to Little Wandle, we have selected this as our new phonics scheme.  Here is the link to explore more of what this looks like for your child.   www.littlewandlelettersandsounds.org.uk/resources/for-parents/

Half Term Project Details and Homework Ideas - Why do squirrels hide their nuts?

Into the woods we go! Why do squirrels hide their nuts? Why do hedgehogs hibernate? It’s time to explore the seasonal changes in the natural world during autumn and winter.

Help your child prepare for their project
Woodlands are wonderful! Why not explore a local woodland together to build a fairy house using twigs, leaves, nuts and berries? You could also cook some fabulous autumnal recipes such as pumpkin soup or toffee apple cakes. Alternatively, set up a mud kitchen in your garden. What ingredients from the garden can you mix together to create an autumn potion?

This project runs for the second half of the Autumn term. Homework contributions can be made throughout the half term, please make sure your child brings in something that they have worked on at home.

Below are some ideas, try one of these or something else project related 

• You could go on an autumn walk and collect some autumn leaves and use them to make a picture or collage. 

• Make a leaf or bark rubbing. 

• Make a firework picture. 

• Draw a picture of a woodland animal. 

• Go on a bug hunt and draw a picture of things you found. 

We will be displaying all of the children's work. 

Thank you for your continued support and we look forward to seeing your creations 

At the end of the project homework period your child will receive either a bronze, silver or gold project homework badge.

Bronze = a basic piece of project homework was completed

Silver = a good piece of project homework which has clearly taken lots of time to complete

Gold = an excellent piece of project homework which has clearly taken lots of thought, time and effort to complete
