Welcome to the Autumn Term! We hope you had a lovely summer holiday. We are very excited about the beginning of a new year and have lots of fun activities planned.

Topic

Our topic for Autumn 2 is 'Celebrations'. Please disucss any special occasions that you celebrate as a family. The children will have opportunities to share these experiences with their friends in school. We will be looking at Bonfire Night, Remembrance Day, Dwali and Christmas. 

Forest School 

We will continue with our Forest School sessions this year. Willow Class on a Thursday and Oak Class on a Monday. Please continue to send your child to school in their Forest School kit on this day. More details will be published on Tapestry. 

                                Literacy at Home                                        
Please read lots of different stories and information books to your child at home. Ask questions about what is happening in the story. Can they guess what might happen next? Ask them to retell the story to you. Can they tell you who the characters in the story are? Look for letters and words in the environment.

           Numeracy at Home
It is important that the children can say the numbers in order to 20 and beyond. Look for numbers and shapes in the environment. Can they find a number 2 on a door or a number 7 on the bus? Can they see a square window or a circle shaped grid? Can they count how many chairs are around the table or how many packets of crisps are in the bag - touching each item as they count?
