🌈 Welcome Back, EYFS! 🐝

We hope you have all had a lovely half-term break and enjoyed some special time together! 💛

We have lots of exciting activities and adventures planned for the weeks ahead, and we can't wait to get started! 🍂✨

Please take a look at the learning targets below to see what we will be focusing on this half term.

As always, if you have any questions or queries, please feel free to speak to us at the end of the day or send us a message on Dojo. 📱

Thank you, as always, for your continued support. It really means a lot to us! ❤️

The EYFS Team 🐝🌼

🌟🐝 A very warm welcome to all of our new Nursery and Reception children and families, and a big welcome back to the children who were with us last year! 🐝🌟 We are so excited to begin our new year together and can’t wait to see you all on Thursday at 8:45am! 🎉

Please see the information below regarding the drop off and collection of children: 

Part-time Nursery children will be collected at 11:45am, and all other children will be collected at 3:15pm. ⏰ 

Reception children should line up at the double doors leading into the Nursery area, while Nursery children should line up at the previous Nursery entrance—both entrances will be clearly signposted. 🚪✨

We have renamed the nursery class as The Hive - a place for busy bees where more active resources and activities will take place. 🐝😊

The reception classroom area is now called The Nest - a quieter space, with an opportunity for calmer, more focused activities. 🕊️😊

Nursery parents/carers, please come in with your child, help them find their coat peg (which has their name and a symbol representing their name), hang up their coat, place their bag and lunch box (if applicable) in the box by the door, then ask your child to take their name tag and give it to Miss Fleming. 🧥🎒 Once the children are settled, we will direct the children to tables where there will be activities for them.

Reception parents/carers, please accompany your child to the double doors where Mrs Brown will be there to greet them, and encourage them to come in independently, placing their bag in the box. 😊 Reception children will then sit on one of the carpet spots with their coats on and their lunchboxes if they have them, and we will help them hang their coats up in the cloakroom and put lunch boxes in the fridge. 🪑 

For PE which will be on Tuesdays, children will not be getting changed for the first half term, so there is no need to send PE kits initially. 🏃‍♀️ 

We ask for each child to have a spare set of clothes in school in a named carrier bag, in case of any accidents.👖👚🧦

Finally, at home time, all children will be collected from the Reception entrance double doors, one child at a time, so please be patient with us while we get to know all of our wonderful children and families. 💛🐝

We can't wait to get started and have a fantastic year together! 🌈✨

If you have any questions, please speak to us on the door (ideally at pick up time) or send a message via Dojo. 😊

Thank you,
Mrs Weilding
