This week we have been supporting the children with staying at school longer. They have coped well having lunch in the school hall, and they have enjoyed playing out on the playground at lunchtime.
In our phonics lessons this week, we have introduced the following sounds m, a, s, d and t. The children have been learning the sound each letter makes, and we have even had a go at writing each of these sounds.
Well done to all our Apples and Pears for settling into their first two weeks of school.
Just a reminder, the children will begin full days at school, as of Monday 15th September. Apples and Pears are also due to take part in their first PE lesson on Monday morning, so please ensure your child's PE kit has been bought in to school by Monday at the latest.
Our PE lessons will continue on Monday mornings each week, this term. Long hair should be tied back, and all earrings must be removed for your child to take part in PE, therefore please take these out prior to school on Monday.
All children should come to school with a coat due to the unpredictable weather, along with appropriate footwear, suitable for the weather. Book bags containing your child's reading record should be bought to school every day. Please ensure all bags, clothing and shoes are clearly labelled with your child's name so they can easily be found if they are misplaced.
Many thanks for all your support with your child's transition into school.
Have a lovely weekend.
