Parent coffee/information morning

It was lovely to see some many parents this morning for the information session, I hope you found it useful. If you are unsure I anything from the talk this morning, please do come and see me.
Here is a brief outline of what we talked about this morning if you were unable to attend.


Library Bag


The children will have the opportunity to choose a library book from the library at pre-school to take home to share. On the library bags is a key ring with the child's name along with the 7 DASP citizenship caterpillars. We talked about these and to become familiar with them in preparation for going to school. Also there is one of Jennie Jigsaw which is our Personal, social and emotional development  programme we do. We are getting new library bags due to the old ones becoming worn out. There will be a deposit of £2.00 to get a library bag. This will be refunded when you return the library bag at the end of the year. As soon as the bags arrive we will let you know.


Changing Bags


In the next couple of days the children will come home with a changing bag which will need filling with a whole set of spare clothes. These bags will only come home if child has needed to be changed.


Blog


The blog is one of our main ways of keeping you informed about what we are learning about a school. It is really important you check the blog to see what's happening at pre-school on a weekly basis. If you are unsure about how to access it, please do come and see me. I generally update the blog on a Sunday in preparation for the week ahead. I talk about what we are going to do, Sounds and letters and Jennie Jigsaw along with some home learning.


Keyworkers


Over the last 2 weeks we have been getting to know the children and also them getting to know us. From this we have now given each child a keyworker. A letter about keyworkers  will come home in the next week along with who your child's key worker is. 


Stay and Play


Once a week on Wednesday, Thursday or Friday will be a stay and play session. This is an opportunity to come an play with your child in pre-school along with the opportunity to have chat with me. We open the door at 8.30 and siblings are very welcome to come to.


Labelling of clothes and shoes


Please could all your child's clothes and shoes be labelled as we have acquired some jumpers with no names in.


Shared Books


Over the year we will send a group of books out which we have shared at pre-school and think you might like to share at home. We have started this already with Shark in the park. When you have read the story at home, it would be lovely to have a comment by your child's name of what they thought of the book and please return it to preschool so the next child can share it at home.


Parent meetings


In October there will be an opportunity to come and talk to me about your child's learning and settling in year 2. Dates of this is to follow. Please feel free always to come and catch me at anytime if you have a question or would like discuss something.


If you have any further question please do come and see me.Image result for coffee morning
