Wednesday 3rd September.

Welcome!

The children start back on Wednesday 3rd September at 8.45am. They need to line up on the infant playground, and will be met by a member of staff.  We ask that you allow your child to come into school on their own as the he infant area does get very congested and children become more independent much quicker when they are responsible for organising their belongings.

The children should be collected from the infant playground/patio area at 3pm. We are very good at putting names to faces by the end of week, but please do make yourself known to us!  If there is anything that you need to let us know about, then please do let any member of the team know.

What does my child need to bring?

• their book bag
• packed lunch if they are having one
• water bottle - preferably filled with water rather than fruit juice
• snack - again this needs to be labelled
• PE kit- before Monday 8th
• the children may buy toast and juice at playtime so please could any money be in an envelope/purse rather than loose change as it is easier for the children to look after.
• they also need to bring their diary and reading book EVERY day - this will come home with them on the first day

The first two weeks back to school in September are called the Induction Period. This is an invaluable time for both children and staff, as we become familiar with routines and children’s different learning styles. Both this blog and your child’s home-school link book will be valuable sources of communication throughout the year. Please do comment in the diaries when you have listened to your child read, or if you have any information to pass onto us. There are useful prompts at the top of each page to help you with the type of things to discuss.

THERE IS AN INDUCTION MEETING  FOR PARENTS NEXT WEDNESDAY 10th SEPTEMBER at 3.15pm in Mrs Pinto-Edwards's room. Creche facilities will be available for the children. We look forward to seeing you and telling you about life in Key stage One!! It's a great opportunity for our Year 1 parents especially, to meet the staff.

 

Our first Come and See topic of the year is FAMILIES. Please could your child bring a photo of their family into school to form part of a class display. Please could you write your child's name on the back so that the photos can be safely returned. Thank you.

Many thanks and if you have any questions, do please call in to see any member of the team.
