• The children have a lot of exercise outside, but we will also use the hall every Wednesday afternoon for P.E. For this half-term, your child will need to remove their shoes, socks or tights. 
• Snacks of fruit, vegetables, cereal, milk, breadsticks and crackers are provided.  Please note we are Healthy School- no nuts or products containing nuts/ chocolate, e.g. Nutella.
• Homework: This will be uploaded on the website every Friday. Please complete this with your child, as it will support their learning. It is handed out every FRIDAY. Please return it every WEDNESDAY.

How you can access your child's learning:

When we have all the consent forms in, we will be able to upload small videos and photos of children's learning. Learning in EYFS takes several forms:-

Continuous Provision-  the adults in Nursery use academic research to inform provision and activities to create a learning environment with activities that maximise children's learning. Some resources are a constant, some are changed depending on the learning goals set that week. 

1-1 work with a Nursery adult-this is when a child may need a bit extra support or quiet time to access learning attached to age-related tasks.

Small group Focus work- this is where children work in small Kagan groups and work with an adult to access a learning task.

Reading

Your child will begin Guided Reading with the class teacher or the class teaching assistant. Your child will bring home a Guided Reading book and a book from our Nursery library they have chosen themselves in Autumn 2.

Your child will be assessed using T.A.S.S and WellComm. These assessments check speech sounds and comprehension.  If your child needs support, they will placed in an intervention group, they will have 3 weekly sessions. You will be informed of their targets so you can work on these at home to optimise your child’s progress.
