Bewsey Lodge Primary School Early Years Foundation Stage

NEWSLETTER Friday 23rd September ‘16

Lots of learning this week….

This week in happy Days we have read the story “Maisy goes to Nursery”. We have also created musical sounds with some instruments. Next week will be talking about our families. Please could you bring in a family photograph for us to share.

Nursery children have really enjoyed playing in our new sand pit in our outdoor area. We have been getting right in, with our socks and shoes off and talking about how the sand feels on our bare feet. We have lots of large sand toys to get busy with! We have read the story ‘The Smartest Giant in Town’ by Julia Donaldson and talked about being a kind and helpful friend. Ask the children what happened to the giant at the end of the story!!!!

We have had a very busy week in Reception! The children have been looking at houses and have even made a picture of what their home looks like. We have been reading about The Three Little Pigs and what their homes were built with. We have been practicing our counting and have even been looking at ‘more’ and ‘less’. We have also been singing lots of nursery rhymes, playing in the outdoor area and spending lots of time in our home corner!

We just want to say a big well done to all the children that have managed to come in to the classroom on their own this week! We know this is a big step and we are very proud of all you! 

Snack Money: Please, please ensure that snack money is paid on a Monday morning for the week. If you do not pay snack money for 2 weeks, then unfortunately your child will not receive snack until the money is paid. Thank you.

Please could you ensure that children do not play on the equipment before or after school. Thank you.

Uniform: Please can the correct uniform be worn at all times. Children in reception must wear black shoes, not trainers. Please could Nursery children wear their polo tops each day. Thank you.

Christmas Trip: Children took a letter home yesterday explaining about our Christmas Trip to Gullivers World. Please send slips and deposits back to secure places.
