*New Photo Board*

Have​​ a look in the​​ lobby​​ where we have displayed photos​​ of​​ the​​ start of​​ summer​​ term​​ of our children​​ Learning Through Play​​ and our Coronation Party.

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.
