Calendar - updates added to version on classroom door

 

Forest School 

It is our turn for forest school again this term. We are hoping that each class can go 5 times starting from week 2. Please see the calendar for specific dates. Going to forest school is dependent upon us having sufficient adult ratios to keep everybody safe. If we ever need to cancel, we will give you as much notice as possible. Please dress children appropriately for the weather. Waterproofs may still be needed. On hot days, please can children wear hats and sun-cream. Even on hot days, children must wear long sleeves and long legs due to the risk of ticks.

​​​P.E. 

Both classes will have P.E. on Mondays. These lessons will include building skills for Sports Day with our sports coach, Mr Jackson.

​

Assessment and Reports

This term, teachers will be assessing children against the Early Learning Goals.

Children will be assessed in seventeen areas. You can read these

Early Learning Goals here. In each area, children will be assessed as

'expected' if they have achieved that early learning goal, or as 'emerging' if

they are still working toward that goal. This assessment is referred to as 'The 

Early Years Profile' and will be shared with you with your child's report and passed on to your child's Year 1 teacher.

 

Term 6 Overview

​

For our final term we are kicking off with the adventure story 'Jack and the Flum Flum Tree' by Julia Donaldson. We'll need our map reading and making skills that week! We will then move onto a larger theme of our wider world with 'Meerkat Mail' and celebrating different cultures and people inspired by the book 'All Are Welcome'. We plan to include an international day on 26th June when children can come dressed in clothes inspired by another country/culture and we can taste some food. If you can contribute any food of international origin for our tasting that would be much appreciated. We will also soon send out a link to a short form so you can give your permission for your child to taste different foods on that day.

their Year 1 teacher.
