Term 2 2022
To our dear Fledglings,
Welcome back to term 2 in Fledglings.
· Projects, Plans and Routines – This term we will continue to find out about many different festivals celebrated at this time of year ...'Halloween, Bonfire Night and Fireworks, Remembrance Day, Diwali and Christmas'. We will be joining up with KS1 classes to produce a Christmas Nativity Play at the end of term that we hope you will all enjoy.
Every day the children in EYFS take part in child-initiated learning where they are encouraged to play and learn, inside and outside, following their own interests. Reception children particularly will also be taking part in daily focused tasks led by the staff and this is called 'adult led learning'
We will also progress with our new phonics scheme, 'Little Wandle' and will continue to send home work for you to look at with your child. Please remember it is useful to have the reading folders in every day.
It would be very helpful if you could please provide a spare set of clothes for your child to change into if they get wet or dirty. Please also send in a pair of NAMED welly boots that can stay at school.
P.E. – Reception children will continue to take part in a P.E. session on Friday mornings. Please make sure your Reception child comes to school WEARING their P.E. kit on Friday and remember to remove their jewellery and tie back long hair. Thank you.
Thank you for your continued support, please do make an appointment to come and see us if you have any worries or concerns, alternatively speak to the office and we can phone you and have a chat at the end of the day.
Upcoming dates:
Thursday 10th November - Forest School Session with Anna Outdoors
Tuesday 15th November - Jack and the Beanstalk pantomime at school
Wednesday 14th December - Nativity play to parents - more details to follow
Friday 16th December - Last day of term
Wednesday 4th January 2023 - Start of term 3 for children
With love from, Mrs Ervine, Mrs Lead, Sarah, Sammy, Davina and Kim xxxxxx
Dear parents/carers,
Please click on the links below to access the remote learning resources for the appropriate week of the school closure.
Below you will find extra links to websites and documents which will give you additional guidance on organising some focussed learning at home if you choose.
Starting with a Story - visit White Rose Maths for some activities based on stories.
We are also asking that children please bring a NAMED bottle of water with them into class each day. This means that they can take their own bottle outside with them on warmer days and we can encourage all of the children to drink more…especially during the afternoon sessions. Thank you.
Please click on the link below for details of our price list and session times.

Fees cover all non-funded sessions for which the child is enrolled including any sessions not attended by the child for instance due to illness/holiday. One calendar month’s notice will be required to cancel a place/or reduce sessions, failure to follow to provide this notice will incur the usual fee of £13 per session.
