Forest School

Year 1 children will be taking part in forest school on Wednesdays: 11th, 18th & 25th September, 2nd, 9th, 16th & 23rd October, 6th, 13th, 20th & 27th November, 4th December.

These sessions take place whatever the weather, so please can children come into school wearing clothes according to the weather on that day, lightweight, long trousers and sleeves are best to avoid irritation from plants and insects. Your child will need a pair of wellies, but we kindly ask that children do not come into school wearing them, they should come into school wearing a pair of trainers/PE pumps.

Please ensure your child has a spare change of clothes in school on Forest School days as they often get very muddy and wet. 

Allergy Advice

This year we have a child with a severe dairy allergy causing  anaphylaxis in Key Stage 1.

Please do not be offended if we ask your child to get changed due to spillages of food during the day or if we ask your child to change on arrival at the start of their day. 

For this reason  a full change of clothes must always left on your child's peg and remain in school. (this does not have to be school uniform)

Book Bags:

In 1A and 1/2B, book bags will go on home on Thursdays to be returned on Tuesdays.

Your child will bring home three books. One is a phonics Big Cat Collins book  (see image below) for your child to read to you. Your child has read this book three times with adult support during the week. The purpose of bringing it home is to increase their fluency. Rereading is a proven way to increase their confidence in applying their phonic knowledge.

The other books have words your child may not be able to read yet. It is for you to share and talk about together, however as your child grows in confidence, they will want to attempt to read all the books.
