Forest school
On a Wednesday morning for Nursery and Friday afternoon for reception, children have the opportunity to take part 'Forest School' led by Mrs Atkinson. We learn lots about the world and have great fun.
Reading
All Early years children will get a new reading book each Friday to share at home.
- Children must read at least 4 times each week to be green. Reading is to be recorded on 'boom read' using the codes sent home with the children so they can be monitored throughout the week.
- Reading books are to be brought back to school each Friday so they can be changed.
Simple, fun activities for kids, from newborn to five
Many little things light up hungry little minds. Kids take everything in, and even the smallest things you do with them can make a big difference.
They love it when you chat, play and read with them, even when they’re too young to understand everything. Whatever the time and wherever you are, you can turn almost anything into a game.
And every little thing you do together will help set them up nicely for the day they start school.
