• Join in with the repeated refrains.
• Join in with the actions.

As part of the transition into Reception, our provision will enable pupils to develop early mathematical concepts in:

• Classifying
• Matching
• Comparing
• Ordering

• Numbers within 6
• Addition and subtraction within 6

In our PE lessons, we are creating our own dances in our ‘Dinosaur Moves’ topic. The children will learn a set of dinosaur movements. They will turn these movements into short motifs which will be linked together to create a class dance, performed to a piece of music.

The children are learning to:

• Develop coordination
• Improve balance
• Create a dance sequence to music
• Work as a team
• Remember and perform a short dance
• Evaluate and improve a short dance

We are encouraging the full-time children to come into the unit by themselves on a morning.  If you feel you would prefer to come in with your child, or if you want to see a member of staff you are welcome to do so.

Please remember to return your child’s homework bag on WEDNESDAYS.  It is important that your child’s reading bag is returned on their reading day so your child does not miss out on reading their book to a member of staff.

In P.E all full-time children will now be working on the apparatus.  Children need a pair of black pumps, a pair of navy blue shorts and a white t-shirt with their name written inside of each item and hung in a bag on their coat peg.  No jewellery is allowed so please remove and leave at home any earrings/chains/bracelets etc. on   Fridays so these valuables do not get misplaced.

Can we ask that all parents make sure they use the correct entrance and exit (from the Infant playground) for the Early Years Unit, so we can maintain a safe environment for all the children. If you arrive after 9:00 please use the main reception to enter the school building.

Thank you for remembering your 50p baking fund money every week as this helps us offer a mixed and varied curriculum.

If you have any questions regarding anything in the Unit, please do not hesitate to ask.
