Dental Nurse visit 

The children have been very lucky to have dental nurse come into school to discuss looking after our teeth and thinking about what foods are good and bad for teeth. They were given a tooth two minute timer to support brushing their teeth at home.

Autumn 1 learning 

The children have settled into robins class really well and have worked hard to establish friendships, practice their name writing and following the school day. We are delivering Read Write Inc phonics session, the class are picking up sounds quickly ready to support their reading.

We are very proud of the children for discussing different books such as funny bones, ruby's worry and the family tree to inspire our learning. Here are a few pictures of some of the things the children have been doing. 

Please see link below to take to you the 50 things project and app that you can download for free.

Try out the app and see what activities you can find! 

Useful Links and information 

Please see links attached below which have been recommended by the Early Years Team. The Cbeebies link has lots of useful ideas to try at home with your child, information and advice for parents. A handy tool! 

Another useful link is the Cbeebies Alphablocks and Numberblocks shows. They are lots of fabulous clips on BBC iplayer which are used in school to help visualise and build numbers. Please do share and take a look at home with your child. 

Finally is the 'Activity Passport' for children which has been released by the Government with a list of recommended activities and learning opportunities for children to experience at each age and stage. Please do try these at home.
