Early Years

Woodworking skills in the EYU

The children have loved our new woodwork area. They have been super creative with their models. So far, we’ve had dinosaurs, helicopters, aeroplanes and even a duck!

 

 

 

Your child is invited to come dressed as a book character.  We will try and guess who they are!

We will also have a flash read at 9.00 in both halls.  Every child and adult will bring their reading book into the hall and read silently together.  If parents and carers would like join us with their own books we would love to see them.

Early Years will have a “stay and read” session in their setting.

Key Stage One will meet in the lower hall.

Key Stage Two will meet in the upper hall.

We look forward to seeing you!Dani Rees, Deputy Headteacher

Superstars in Early Years

Writing has been of huge interest to the children this week and here these two superstars have spent time mark making together. Concentration levels are high as they both worked alongside each other on their self chosen task!

Forest School Fun

This week, some children made human scales to see who was heaviest

others focused their attention on creating a scarecrow to keep the birds away from our mud mountains.

Children in Early Years love taking their learning into the forest.  This week, some children made human scales to see who was heaviest, whilst others focused their attention on creating a scarecrow to keep the birds away from our mud mountains.

Welcome to Spring in the EYU

What a busy start to our spring term in early years! So far we have spent time sharing our favourite stories and poems, talked about our adventures over the Christmas holidays and read our replies to our letters we sent…

A reminder that the deadline for “on time” applications for a full-time place in the Early Years unit is approaching – parents and carers should apply by 15th January.  Late applications can be made after this date, though these may be looked at after other applications.

Your child will usually start primary or infant school in the September of the school year they turn 5 – so if your child’s 5th birthday is between 1/9/17 and 31/8/18 you can apply for a place in reception for September 2017.  For more details, why not have a look at our page all about admission arrangements?

If you have an enquiry about a part-time place for your child in the Early Years unit, please contact Mrs Deighton in the school office.
