Welcome to Leopards!

 

Dear Parents and Carers

 

Well back!  The summer holidays seemed to go so quickly and it is lovely to see so many happy faces coming into Leopards Class each morning.

 

Curriculum:

This term our topic is Toys: Now and Then.  I will add more information next week regarding our learning for the term.   Currently, we have been using last week and this week to help the children settle into their new environment, learn new routines and get to know each other. 

 

Reading:

The children are starting to bring home a reading book to share with you from our Rocket Phonics Scheme.  Please support your child to read by segmenting and blending new words.  The questions at the back of the book are really useful to help develop comprehension skills.  Please write a quick comment in their Reading Record.  We encourage the children to read daily as this will be their 'homework' to begin with.  Please send your child in with their reading book and reading record daily, as we like to change their books regularly and we are fortunate to have volunteers come and listen to the children read too. 

 

PE Kits:

PE will take place on a Tuesday (outdoor) and Friday (indoor). Please can we ask that your child has a full PE kit in school from Monday to Friday. The PE kit needs to include a red t-shirt, black shorts and trainers. We suggest a hoodie and joggers/leggins when the weather is colder. We will send their PE kits home every half term to be washed. This term our Tuesday sessions will focus on ball skills and Friday sessions will focus on co-ordinating our movements.

 

Forest School:

Will take place on Thursday afternoons. Please send old clothing for these sessions as the children may get mucky especially with all the rain we have had recently!  Legs will need to be covered to minimise the possibility of being stung nettles/bitten by insects – No shorts or jeans.

 

Water Bottles:

Please provide a named water bottle for your child. We can refill them as required. 

 

Morning drop off’s and picking up:

Please bring your children to the classroom gate in the morning and pass on any messages related to the day. Please come to the classroom gate to pick up at 3.15pm. If your child attends after-school club, we will take them through.  Mornings are always very busy and we want to help the children settle as easily as possible - I am always available at the end of the day to chat if needed. 

 

Class Dojo:

We will be using Class Dojo this year and I will share more information about this with you and the login details at our class meeting next week (Tuesday at 3.30pm or Thursday at 3.30pm).  

 

If you have any questions or concerns please do catch me on the gate.
