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. 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. We will be starting this on Monday.
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 have done last week, what we are going to do this week, notices, 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.

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.

WOW'S
We talked about the all important WOW moments. Wow moment slips can be found the year 2 hallway. If you are unsure where to find them please ask a member of staff. We value these wow moment and celebrate with the children their achievements and news. Please keep them coming in. It is opportunity for you as parents to tell us your child's news and achievements which will contribute towards their learning journeys.
Saturday stay and play mornings
Every half term there will be one Saturday morning for about 2 hours whereby pre-school will be open for you to come and have a play, look at your child learning journey and chat to the pre-school team. These will be advertised on the preschool blog.
POWSA
WHAT IS POWSA?
For those who have never attended a POWSA meeting before the thought can be intimidating but we are all friendly parents who want to help the school offer the best of opportunities to all the pupils who pass through it's doors, whilst having a little fun along the way. We give up a little bit of time every now and then to help provide some of those extras that help make our school such a fantastic place and if you would like to learn more we would love to see you. The next POWSA meeting is on 7th November 2017 which is the POWSA AGM. Any questions about POWSA please do come and ask myself.
