th – 10th Oct 2025

We have posted a few pictures of our activities on the Class Dojo app, (please see the email dated 24th September about joining). Parents have been able to see some of our activities. We will also post any reminders or updates on here. We look forward to
seeing you there!

 

Our 2-a-day stories for the week ahead are…

The whole group will be joining in with sound cards and:

That’s not my flamingo… By Fiona Watt & Rachel Wells

Teddy Bear, Teddy Bear! By Annie Kubler

The older children will also read…

There’s a Shark in the Park! By Nick Sharratt

Next week’s Jolly Phonics letter sounds are iandn”.
The short songs can be found on the internet.

Below are links to some online resources to help with some home learning;

 

  • A new Best Start in Life website (beststartinlife.gov.uk or ‘The Best Start in Life parent hub’) will replace the existing NHS Start for Life and UK Government Childcare Choices websites. Parents will now be able to access that same information and support in one place with content on topics that will take them from pregnancy, through their child's journey to starting school and beyond. Any visitors to the previous sites will be automatically re-directed to the new hub.

  • BBC Tiny Happy People – This is now called CBeebies parenting and has lots of expert advice for parents on a variety of subjects, and fun activities for babies, toddlers and children.

  • Words for Life from The National Literacy Trust with lots of ideas for all age groups.

 

As the weather is getting warmer, please remember to bring a named sunhat and to put sun cream on your child before they come in.

All children that stay for lunch will need to bring a named bottle of suncream for us to reapply after lunch – we do not have a spare one!
