Please can I remind parents and carers about earrings on PE days? They should be removed for health and safety. Please support your child to do this at home before they come to school. 

Thank you,

Miss Conyard, Mrs Highsted and Mrs Morley

Reception PE Day 2024-25

Tuesday

Please come to school in your PE kit on Tuesday ready for PE. The children will not be getting changed at school so will not need school uniform in their bags. 

Please remember to remove the children's earrings on PE days. 

Meet the Teacher Meeting

Thank you to all the parents who joined us for our meet the teacher meeting. I know a lot of information was shared and so I have attached a copy of the slides below for your reference. 

A message for any families who are due to be starting our Reception Class in September.

I have attached a pdf story of a child starting school for you to share with your child. This will enable you to introduce the idea of staying all day at school, and will help all children that will be full time in September. Read the story and talk about it with your child. Doing this several times every now and again will help your child understand some of the experiences that will be ahead for them and help them cope emotionally for what could possibly be a challenge. We are very much looking forward to meeting you and your child and begin the process of getting to know you.

’50 Things to do before you’re five’

There is a brand new app for families in Hertfordshire! It’s called ’50 Things to do before you’re five‘, it’s intention is to improve outcomes for our younger children. It’s full of ideas for activities and experiences that are free or low cost that encourage communication and language, being active and trying new things. Many experiences are outdoors and open ended so the whole family can take part! 
 

How many experiences and memories can you tick off?
