EARLY YEARS UNIT NEWSLETTER - October (2) 2006

Dear Parents,

Welcome Back

The children have come back to school rested and raring to go! We hope you had an enjoyable half term break. A special welcome to children who have just joined us here at EYU - Malaika (RB),

Mid Term Planner
These are attached. Remember that the weekly planning, showing more detail, is outside the classrooms for your perusal.

Parent Help
Thank you to everyone who sent in some party food or drink to share at the EYU Fancy Dress Party, it was all fantastic. A few mums came into school to help out during the day too - Eliot's mum brought in his baby sister to NY, Skye's mum, Sama's mum (both RJ) and Douglas's mum (NR), a huge thank you to them. And this half term Suzi's mum is coming to join RB every week to do fun and creative activities - a thank you in advance.
If you have time or would like to come and visit your child in class, then please let your class teacher know when, karibuni.

EYU Sports Day
This takes place in week 12, on Monday 20th November, 10:30 am till 12:30. We will send you a separate invite nearer the time, and as usual you are welcome to take your child home with you afterwards.

Maths at Home

Please find attached some information you may find useful if you wish to support your child at home in maths/incorporate more maths in your home. Let us know if you found it useful.

My Maternity Leave

As you know, I am expecting a baby in December and I shall probably take my leave at the end of next month. Mrs. Mbabu will be teaching RB, Mrs. Njuguna will be teaching special needs in EYU and Miss Bradshaw (KS1 coordinator and Year 2 teacher) will be overseeing the unit. I hope to be back in school at the end of Term 2/beginning of Term 3. I would like to take this opportiunity to thank all of you for your support, understanding and advice!

And finally……..

………..The partnership of families and carers plays a crucial role in tailoring the curriculum to individual needs. There is a two-way flow of information: what happens at school is reinforced and vice versa.

The teachers and assistants here really appreciate and value what you tell them, so keep talking to us!

Victoria Speight,

RB Teacher and EYU Coordinator
