BAGS TO SCHOOL....

Hi there... Just checking in to clarify a few queries regarding bags we need to bring to school. The children will need to bring each week their purple book bags, so we can change their reading books (store any correspondence from us) and their black P.E bags for their indoor/outdoor kits and pumps as Mrs Foster has already expressed, just for the children to safely walk into the hall for P.E not to change into daily as we will be exploring the outdoor area on a daily basis. The cloakroom can get quite full, making it difficult for the children to locate their belongings at hometime. I am sure you will agree that the children have a lot to remember with their coats, cardigans, P.E Kits and book bags, so to keep things simple the children will not need to bring in any additional rucksacks, bags etc... next week!!
I have really enjoyed meeting everyone so far and have still yet to meet all my afternoon children which I am really looking forward too. I hope the children have been comming home happy and have been sharing their experiences!! Speak soon Miss Skidmore.

Dinner Money

A couple of parents have asked about dinner money...so here goes..

Dinner money charges are as follows:

£1.80 per day
£9.00 for the whole week

Milk is £10 for the year

Cheques are to be made payable to 'Leeds City Council'

Hope that helps!!

Miss Skidmore.

First week back!!

Well here we are the night before.....getting quite excited about going back I hope your children are too!! This week we will be mainly focusing on settling in and getting to know each other and the classrooms - we will be singing some familair number rhymes and playing some listening games as well as circle time and lots of stories!! On Wednesday we are going to have a go at ready for PE (eek!!) I know this will be difficult for some children - but don't worry we WILL be there to help! You can help us by making sure everything is named - including, skirts, trousers and dresses!! Having just packed Alice's pump bag (how organised!!) I think it would be a good idea to do this with your child so they know exactly what they have got in there!! Also don't forget to personalise your child's PE bag in some way, so they can find it easily!! Can you also please bring in your child's empty book bag this week, so we can get them ready for reading books!! Ok thats it for now... enjoy the rest of this sunny Sunday - and we will see you at some point this week!!

Thank You
The Reception Team

quick update!

Sorry for lack of blogging recently.... but just thought I would give you a quick update as to where we are with phonics. We have just completed all of the phase 2 phonemes and your child should by now have their 'sound book' so you can practice them at home. We will continue revising the sounds and practicing blending and segementing up until christmas - so that we are ready to start phase 3 in the new year!!!! As soon as we are back after christmas we will arrange another phonics meeting to keep you all up to speed.

A few dates for your dairy:-

27th Noevember (this Friday!!) is a training day - so you children will not be in school.
Tuesday 15th December at 2:30pm will be our Christmas Concert - you will be receiveing a letter this week about costumes etc!
