On Friday 30th January, Year 2 will be having an exciting workshop in school linked to their Great Fire of London topic. This will be a half day, practical, outdoors workshop, exploring learning linked to this topic. This is a great opportunity for the children. 

School will be subsiding this, but we would appreciate it if you could make a voluntary contribution of £3. This can be done on parent mail by going to parent mail/shop/payments.

A reminder that any routine appointments should not be made in school times to avoid any  disruptions to your child’s learning.

This also affects your child’s attendance.

Thank you for your continued support in this.

Well done to Adam and Florence for being chosen as Breakfast Club Superstars!

Reading workshops this half term will be as follows:

· Friday 6^th February – Year 2

· Friday 13^th February – Year 1

They will be taking place in the school hall  2.30pm-3pm.

Tea/Coffee will be provided.

We look forward to seeing you there!

Good sleeping habits are very important for your child’s development. Children need to learn good sleeping habits they do not come naturally. A good bedtime routine is essential for establishing good sleep patterns. Establish a sleep plan which all adults in the house agree to.

Tips to consider include:

· Children over 6 months old do not require food or drink during the night so stop night feeds after 6 months before they become a habit which will be hard to break.

· Re establish routines as soon as possible after a break due to illness, holidays etc.

· Give children calm down time preferably without electronics for an hour before bed.

· Try not to allow your child to fall asleep on the sofa as they need to learn to self soothe – fall asleep by themselves.

· Try to include a story or reading as part of a bedtime routine.

· Choose a time that is convenient to start to establish a new bedtime routine.

· Be firm, consistent and confident.

The children have made a great start to the new year, we have started with our mini topic ‘Wonderful Winter’ where the children have been learning all about Percy the Park Keeper and how he helps the animals in the snowy weather. The children have been completing lots of different activities that are linked to Winter. We have also been looking at other places in the world that have cold weather, the children have really enjoyed exploring our North Pole role play area.

In maths the children continue to work on their mastering number, they have been learning how to match numerals to quantities, ordering numbers and understanding the composition of a number. The children enjoy using the Numberblocks characters to help them to understand these
