BRAEBURN
SCHOOL
EARLY
YEARS UNIT NEWSLETTER - September 2006
Dear
Parents,
Welcome
Welcome back to school and a special welcome to the families new
to EYU. We hope that this term will be fun and exciting for your
child as they begin their learning journey with us. The teachers
and assistants have been making sure that your children are feeling
safe, secure and happy to come to school. This has been a priority
for us here at EYU for the last 2 weeks.
Green
Diaries
We hope that your child has been bringing home a green book every
day called the Home-School diary. We ask that you fill in the inside
front cover, just incase of an emergency and we need to contact
you. Please find some time to read the first few pages - they contain
relevant information for you and how you can help your child at
school.
Also, you will find a copy of your child's timetable at the back
of the diary, so you will know when to send in swimming kits (and
games kits for Reception children).
The teachers check these diaries every day, so please write in
them if you parents and practitioners should work together in an
atmosphere of mutual respect within which children can have security
and confidence.
would like to tell us something.
Termly Plans
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.
On 25th September, we will all start our first theme for the year,
which will run till half term (only 3 weeks!) Nursery will be studying
"All about me" and Reception "Ourselves". The
themes change every half term. Please find the medium term planners
attached. The weekly activities to address the areas of learning
will be displayed outside the classrooms on the notice boards.
If you have any books or videos or ideas etc to support your child's
theme, then please let us know.
EYU
Opening morning
Parents 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.
Should you wish to, you may take your child home with you afterwards.
We ask that you please complete and return the attached form.
And finally, a key principle of our EY curriculum ……
We look forward to your ongoing support and continuing involvement.
Many thanks,
Victoria Speight,
RB Teacher and EYU Coordinator
