Parents/Carers
Hopefully you are all having a lovely weekend.
This week we will be continuing with our 'traditional tales' topic through our learning of "Goldilocks and the 3 bears". The children will be making their own porridge and deciding on their toppings. They will be making and decorating bears,acting out and retelling the story and writing some of the messages that the bears say in speech bubbles.
We understand how busy it can be in the morning and that sometimes for ease it is quicker for us to do something. We are kindly asking you to actively encourage your child to become more independent in their morning routines - hanging their coat on their peg, putting their book bag away and finding their cupcake. Some of the children are becoming very confident at coming in to school in the morning and are asking to come into school on their own. We would really encourage this independence in the children and will praise children who are ready to make their own way into their classes.
Polite reminder - If your child has had a change of clothes from school, could you please ensure these are washed and returned back to us.
We thank your continued understanding and cooperation in leaving pushchairs at the door. Some of our children are asking to come into school independently and we appreciate you encouraging your child to with this.We will praise our children for developing their independency skills.
School Uniform Reminder -
Please be reminded that children are expected to continue to wear the appropriate uniform of:
- Black or grey trousers (Joggers in Nursery)
- White polo shirt with a bottle green jumper or cardigan

Uniform will be given to those children who do not wear the correct uniform in the morning and will need to be returned before the end of school.
Polite reminder - If your child has had a change of clothes from school, could you please ensure these are washed and returned back to us.
We thank your continued understanding and cooperation in leaving pushchairs at the door. Some of our children are asking to come into school independently and we appreciate you encouraging your child to with this.
Request -
We are asking for any donations of bags, hats, costumes etc which are no longer needed and could be used and developed by the children to enhance their imaginative role play please.
We will be using the Havering school menu which the children bought home. This week we are on Week 1 of the menu. Monday’s choices are:

In Read, write inc the children have now begun working in smaller groups according to where they are up to with learning to blend. This will help the children to progress at their own level.
In maths There will be a range of practical activities for the children to use and apply their skills.
Thank you to all those parents who have returned their child's PE kits. A little reminder we have our PE sessions every Thursday. Could you please ensure your child has their P.E kits back in school ready for their lesson. We still have some missing items, if you could please check that your child has their correct clothes Please could you also check that your child has the right P.E clothes in their bag as we do have some it would be much appreciated.
