Parents Contact/Progress/Transition Day Monday 12th June
Normal Preschool will be closed as you all have your appointments with your child’s Keyperson. These will either be a 2 yr Progress Check , a Progress update or a Transition Meeting. Make sure you have signed up to your appointment slot.
The Conversation Boxes have been a great success the children are so proud to share
them in small groups, they create great conversation, the introduction of different vocabulary and role modelling the use of purposeful language and communication together. We continue to use them in small groups with the children and will return them at the end of term.
****Can everyone please bring in a named SunHat to****
leave at preschool and make sure your child has suncream applied as we start to have some hotter weather in the
garden.
*New Photo Board*
Have a look in the lobby where we have displayed photos of Spring & start of Summer term of our children Learning Through Play.
The red board is all about the SEVEN AREAS OF LEARNING IN THE EYFS which is what we work towards with all the children. Read the information and see how you can help your child’s development at home, we have added photos of the children engaged in activities developing their skills in these areas at preschool, see how hard they work… and understand why it is so important to develop these skills early.
The yellow board is all about MUD and what opportunities it offers to your child, look at the photos and see the engagement, awe, and wonder and happiness in the children’s faces. They are fully investigating, exploring, and showing curiosity, all skills needed for Learning.
Please make sure your child has spare clothes in their bag, all children need
spare clothes to replace clothes that get wet and messy from independent active play.
Remember to name all your children’s belongings, uniform, spare clothes, coats, water bottles and lunch bags.
