Welcome to Year One - week begininning 5th September

Welcome to year one! This week we have been settling in, getting to know your children and letting them get to know us. The children have enjoyed telling us tales about their summer holidays- it sounds like you have all had lots of fun! As this is the first week we have been revisiting the school and class rules, we have thought about working as part of a team and how to create a happy working environment. The children have also had the chance to explore the new reception outdoor area which they have thoroughly enjoyed. Please remember to bring a labelled water bottle in every day. We ask that this only contains water- the children are allowed a drink of juice of squash as part of their lunch but we ask that you please do not bring it into the classroom. Please can you check that all of your children's clothes are clearly labelled as this saves us lots of time when things get misplaced. We will be starting PE next week on Wednesday (our regular PE days will be Tuesday and Wednesday) so please have everything labelled by then. Please provide your child with plimsolls or trainers as we would like to go outside as much as possible while the weather is still nice. Our first school trip is Wednesday 5th October when we will be visiting the Time & Tide Museum in Great Yarmouth to experience a Pirate's Day Out (letter to follow). It would be great if the children could come dressed up as pirates for this trip. They can also wear their pirate fancy dress on Friday 7th October. We have our first Open Afternoon on Thursday 29th September- more details to follow. Our weekly blog will keep you updated on the topics covered in class and on any dates for your diary.
