Dear Parents and Carers,

Welcome to our new class page! We are looking forward to a fabulous, fun filled remainder of the Autumn term. Below, you will find information about homework and routines. There are also links to helpful resources and websites.

Homework & Routines

Doors open at 8.45 am for the morning session and 12.45 pm for the afternoon session. Please note that there is no on-site parking available for nursery parents/carers. When you arrive, we ask you to line up along the wall outside with your child. 

Nursery is a free-flow environment where we encourage independence and resilience. Please encourage your child to carry their own belongings, e.g. a water bottle. Nursery can get messy, so please send them in appropriate clothing. Morning nursery finishes at 11:45 am, and afternoon nursery finishes at 3.45 pm. Children who stay all day (30 hours provision) finish at 2.45pm.

At collection time, please line up along the wall so we can dismiss your child safely.

In Nursery, we do not set regular homework; however, we do ask that you read your child a bedtime story every night.

Reading at home is very valuable and helps to develop your child's communication and language skills. 

We will occasionally post activity ideas on Tapestry for you to do at home. We encourage you to upload any photos or make comments on Tapestry about anything you do.

If you have any questions about Tapestry or need some help getting logged in and using Tapestry, please email the school office.

Thank you

Things to remember:

Nursery children may get messy!

• Please keep a bag with a change of clothes and underwear on your child's peg.
   
• Don't forget waterproof overalls and welly boots on rainy days.
   
• Please bring a fresh water bottle every day.

Important Dates:

• Woodlands Christmas sing-along: Thursday 11th December

We hope the above is useful. If you have any questions or require any help, please try to catch us after the session or contact the school office.

Thank you for your continued support.

Happy Learning! 

Kind regards.
