EARLY YEARS UNIT NEWSLETTER - October 2006

Dear Parents,

Open Morning

Thanks for coming to visit us last Thursday. We hope you found it beneficial and interesting to find out more about what goes on here.


Fancy Dress Day
To celebrate the end of the first half of term, the children are invited to come to school in fancy dress on Friday 13th October. Fancy dress means any special clothes. Your child might want to come dressed up as someone or something, or wear party clothes. Please make sure that the clothes are strong and hard wearing though!

We will start the day with a parade, then move on to party games and finally share some party food. (Reception have Games before lunch and they will still need to change into their Games kits. Reception will eat the food in the afternoon.)

Please could we ask that you send in some:

Fruit Juice/Cut up fruit/sandwiches or something savoury/crisps or popcorn/ cakes or biscuits/cups and serviettes

You are welcome to come and help us on that day - things get quite hectic - just let your teacher know.

Bead threading
Nikki from The Venerable Bead Shop, The Junction, is coming to school on Wednesday 11th October to thread beads with the Reception children. The children will practice counting and pattern making, as well as having fun! If you would like to come and help us out, then please let your teacher know. Nikki will be with RB from 8:30 till 10:00, and RJ from 10:35 till 12:00.The focus of these first two weeks in school has been to ensure a smooth entry into the EYU. The activities the children have been doing are on display outside their classrooms on notice boards.

Hot Weather
As the hot weather comes, we are aware that some children are still not coming to school with a sun hat. Please make sure your child brings a hat, clearly labeled with their name, in their bags everyday. You also might want to apply sunscreen to their faces before they come to schoolParents are invited to join their children in the EYU on Thursday 28th September, 10:30 - 12:30 for an open morning. It will be an opportunity to observe you child in their classroom and to meet other parents. There will be a short information sharing session afterwards when we hope to tell you more about the curriculum here at Braeburn.

Festivals

Divali and Eid are fast approaching. If you would like to come in after half term and share how you and your family celebrate these special times, (wear special clothes, eat special food, do special things etc) then please let your class teacher know.
