Dear parents/ Carers
The EYFS staff would very much like to see what your child is doing at home. We would be extremely grateful if you could complete the attached form, either electronically or if you would like a paper copy, please ask the class teacher for one.
Your child will be faced with multiple learning opportunities on a daily basis outside of school, both at home, on walks to the shops, visits, time spent with family etc...
We would love to see more of what your child is doing at home, to celebrate their successes and to gain a deeper understanding of their learning journey.
It would be beneficial to your child's progress if you were able to share some excellent experiences or work with the staff.
We look forward to receiving them back soon. Thank you for your support and participation.
Best wishes,
Miss Harwood
Assistant Headteacher for EYFS

On Tuesday 28th September, the children can come into school wearing autumn colours - oranges, greens, browns or similar.
They will spend the day taking part in autumn activities, such as leaf printing and salt dough hedgehogs.
If you are going on any walks between now and Tuesday please could you collect some leaves, acorns, conkers, pine cones and any other natural objects you think link to Autumn? Please can they be brought into school on Monday and Tuesday next week to use for our activities during the day.
Unfortunately not the ones with chocolate chips.
